History
Rajah was owned by Constable John Robertson, who was the only serving police officer in the town of Methven at the time. Rajah assisted Robertson in his duties, and while he was not officially designated the position, Rajah was the first police dog in New Zealand.
Rajah was trained by Robertson and his son using a search-and-find method. This made the dog very perceptive at finding concealed objects and assisted the dog greatly in its future work.
