Vopo Volkspolizei Dog jacket

[Capt. R]

I have a small interest in the dog units of the vopo and grenzers and thanks to the locating skills of Dallasfan I was able to purchase this unique collectible. The material is white leather. My dog was thrilled to join the ranks and go on patrol!

Anyone have a pic of these in use in the DDR? Any used in the border guard also?

Hi Don

That's a mean looking Grenz Dog you have there !
Very nice collectible

He looks VERY puzzled!
Congratulations. I presume by the length of the straps that it was meant to be worn by a bigger dog, presumably a German shepherd (= Alsatian)
