I purchased a used cabover camper several years ago. Thought I had cleaned it out good. Real, real good. I arrived in Mazatlán opened the back door and several shotguns shells, .45 and 30-06 cartridges were rolling around the floor. I needed a bathroom right away.

I do not care to go into the Mexican injustice nor penal system.

I've never seen drug dogs at the check point. We take our dog and the boys are scared to death.
I would be more concerned taking a car back into the US. A friend of mine bought a used car and came across the border and when the dogs started going crazy with his car, they yanked hin out of the car, pushed it across the border and proceeded to rip the chit out of the car. They found nothing but one seed!!!

His car was given back to him and it cost him a few thousand dollars to put it back together.

I can tell you for a fact the AFI had dogs. The lads would back off ten feet and the handler would bring in the dog. All of the handlers spoke English at least enough to handle the dog but they refused to talk much. I saw labs, a golden retriever and a couple of shepherds at various points over the years.

I have a friend who trains "dope sniffing" dogs, (labrador retrievers, belgian malinois and german shepherds) and he tells me that the dogs are only good for around 15 minutes in a typical shift, and that if another dog is on board, their effectiveness goes to 5%.

I was feeling lucky!



Maybe your dog was packin something that you didn't know about.:spingrin:




Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?

Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

Use to be the army had 11 post,most roving,at three they have dogs all the way down baja. Once on the way to San Felipe while Mexican friend and I took our families camping. We had 2 trucks so in each we both had a radio to talk back n forth. I went thru an army checkpoint 1st so as he fallowed- when the soldiers went to his vehicle I said over the radio"clava la coca" needless to say my friend was upset with me after they searched his vehicle.
