    The document outlines the desired characteristics for K9 units in a government-related context, specifically for applications in law enforcement and security sectors. Key traits include being quiet, environmentally sound, and possessing a solid obedience foundation. The ideal dogs should have developed bite skills (KNPV or Schutzhund), be social, pack-oriented, and exhibit a high drive with the ability to cap that drive effectively.
