A pupdate from our ‘W’ litter
After being named by our social media following, the ‘W’ litter are well and truly settled in with their new foster families who are all smitten by them. Here’s updates from our QPS members who are the ‘Mums’ and ‘Dads’ of the ‘W’ litter about how their pups are doing, their likes and dislikes, their training, favourite toys, hobbies and cheeky traits.
WHISKEY
“Whiskey is a beautiful little puppy with a big attitude. She loves to ‘speak’ and often gives us a bit of lip when we tell her to do something. She is very good at ‘sit’ and ‘drop’, she just can’t get the hang of ‘stay’.
Whiskey has two switches: full on and off. If she’s not running around playing, she is fast asleep (usually on the couch). Her favourite pastime is to play in her sandpit but for some reason most of the sand ends up all over the backyard or on her. Her biggest hate is bathtime or as she thinks of it – ‘torture time’. However, she loves to play in the shower. Whenever we can’t find her, she’s in the shower…
She loves playdates with our friend’s sausage dog ‘Moet’ (Whiskey and Moet together always makes us laugh) and loves when my parents’ kelpie Domino comes over to visit. She jumps all over him while he sits there and takes it.
She loves visiting Police Headquarters and going out on patrol with the Rail Squad where she is the master of escalators and trains.
Oh and she’s a sucker for belly rubs. They are her weakness.”

WILLOW
“Willow is going very well! She has settled in nicely, and has a lovely time playing with our Rottweiler, Chubba who has become like her big brother. She loves chewing shoes when she feels like being naughty.
We prefer if she plays with her other favourite toys: a squeaky soft toy and a sock stuffed with rag she plays tug of war with. Willow is infatuated with food and regularly attempts to raid the pantry.
So far she’s not afraid of anything… She’s a big, brave police dog in the making. Willow has attended the Dogs on Patrol event and was quite the star!”

WYLIE
“Wylie is a good little pup, settling well into life on the Sunny Coast with her new family. Wylie is growing to love the water and the beach, but she hates the bath!
Wylie loves meeting new dogs and playing with toys. Her favourite toy is a squeaky rubber bone! Wylie loves to play tug of war with the garden hose when I’m trying to use it, and ‘helps’ me in the garden…hah!
She loves to play fetch with the ball and only sometimes give it back. She enjoys going out and about on her lead and loves exploring. You can always find her in a shady spot with a toy. She has a very cheeky personality and everywhere we go, people stop us to tell us how cute she is.”

WINTER
“I’ve been lucky enough to look after Winter, she’s a cracker of a pup! Winter is growing quickly and is a lovely snuggly puppy. She loves to play and will keep playing until she falls asleep on her feet if given the chance.
On the days that Winter gets to come to work with me, she is often babysat by the ladies at the library, brightening the day of all those she smooches while there. Winter has also been known to visit the Recruit Squad and keeps everyone amused!
She likes squeaky chew toys, cuddles, lots of attention and long sleeps in the car. Her main dislike is an empty food bowl. She has been attending occasional days out with the Dog Squad trainers and next week will be visiting a school with the Adopt-A-Cop program!”

WILCO
“Wilco is going very well! Every morning he is like a rooster and wakes up with the sun and pretty much everyone else around him! Wilco loves the water, especially at the sand flats at Sandgate and Bribie Island. He also loves playing with other dogs. He is very suspicious of some people and will bark at them and present a good front.
Wilco likes chasing his Kong and also a towel that he captures and then has a tug of war with. Wilco has settled in well with my two children and I, and is as much a part of the family as his mum Uma is. Wilco prefers my king size bed to his dog bed and will jump up there to sleep when he knows it’s bed time.
Wilco is learning to sit and is also learning to use his nose to find food on the ground. He has a very good nose down disposition at this point. He will chase well; his little legs are slowly gaining more miles in them for him to go longer distances.
Wilco attended the launch of the ‘It’s Your Choice’ program at Redcliffe with the Commissioner and was very much the media tart. Wilco was very active and inquisitive during his interaction with the crowds.”

WOOKIE
Wookie is a lively little girl; my kids absolutely love her. She has a cheeky habit of biting heels with her sharp teeth but it’s only because she’s teething. We take her to Wynnum foreshore for a swim every week and she has now learned to sit on command.
We are surprised with how quickly she is growing into a big police dog. She’s not a big fan of the ball but loves to chase her squeaky toy!

WILSON
“Wilson has settled in to his new home nicely. He is a very energetic and bouncy pup who really loves chasing his ball or anything he can get his teeth on for that matter. He has a naughty little habit of stealing washing off the clothes line and thinks it a great game of tug of war when I try to get the clothes back off him.
He has started training and is progressing very well with his obedience already learning to ‘sit’ and ‘down’. His tracking training will start later this week and I’m sure he will start learning this very quickly too.”
