The use of dogs as a mine detection device is expanding rapidly. This work identifies and discusses the esential and optional characteristics of a mine detection dog. Each chrasteristic is defined and/or described, and its features detailed. An extensive review of the literature on dog behaviour and origins is provided, and is linked to the identified characteristics. Recommendations are made about alternative ways to design an MDD and are linked to practice. Implementation of a broadened perspective on the selection and training of MDDs raises a variety of issues, which are identified and discussed.
