VIROQUA, Wis. (WKBT) The Vernon County Sheriff’s Office will soon have another police dog.
Sheriff John Spears announced Tuesday that Deputy Mark Ballecero will work alongside a sable German Shepherd named Dax, who will fill the role previously held by K-9 Myk. Myk died late last year.
The sheriff’s office was able to purchase Dax from Brandom Lamere of Mid-West Working Dogs LLC of Viroqua thanks to community support and donations, Spears said.
Dax was born Aug. 7, 2019, in Germany and imported from Bayreuth, Germany, last year. The new police dog will be trained in narcotics detection, criminal apprehension and article searches and receive certifications from Mid-West Working Dogs and North American Police Work Dog Association. Training for both Bellacero and Dax should be completed in early June 2021.
