K9 Dogs
A police dog, often referred to in North America as a "K9"  is a dog that is specifically trained to assist police and other law-enforcement personnel in their work, such as searching for drugs and explosives, searching for lost people, looking for crime scene evidence, and protecting their handlers.

I am honored to paint and give these portraits as gifts to the officers who have handled, loved and lost their K9's. It is a small thank you gift for all they do to keep our communities safe.


K9 Tasja
​
For 5 years Tasja worked with her handler and was credited with over 100 arrests, numerous evidence finds and located a serial arsonist. Tasja and her handler both retired in 2007.
Her favorite past time was swimming.  She lived as a member of her handlers family until she died in 2014.
