All the data were collected by means of a questionnaire study. It was found out that the most used dog breed for narcotics detection is the German Shepherd, the second most used breed is Belgian Malinois. Of all pursued dogs (74) there were 34 German Shepherds whose success rate was 90,9 % and 23 Belgian Malinois whose success rate was 72, 99 %. It was found out that in 75 % the dogs are better in detecting plant-based drugs such as marijuana/hashish, cocaine, opium, some kinds of poppy seeds, tobacco, nicotine etc. The recommended dog gender is a male dog, the best performance can be expected with 5-6 years old dogs (3-4 years of active service). If the dogs are expected to carry out excellent performances, the training frequency must be adjusted to 7 times a week and the dog must be trained only in one discipline, in this case it is the narcotics detection.
