Brix is a 5 1/2 year old Belgian Malinois and the German shepherd mix, (unofficially referred to as a Maliherd) who was born in the Netherlands. Brix came to the United States at just over 1 year old (in 2008) and he and I have been working together since. He is a Chicago Police Patrol dog, specializing in narcotic detection, article searches, field searches (offender searches) and Cadaver searches. Brix is an energetic, hard working, friendly dog and the most loyal partner anyone could ask for
