Geppo, a 3-year-old German shepherd originally from Germany, will replace Deputy Stratton’s K-9 Luky who is retiring due to age, deputies said.
Both of the dogs came from Alderhorst International in Riverside, California – a family-owned business that provides dog training.
“Both (are) very nice dogs with high skill levels,” an official with the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a news release.
