No, Jax is a 75lb puppy who likes to cuddle, I have no idea what your talking about. But yeah, I know what you mean, they flip like a switch. Mali's go until they are dead, literally. They go through the window instead of going through the open door sometimes. He kills me with the loft.
I love the shepards we train with, both German and Dutch, but Jax is just something, maybe I am bias because he is mine.

Narc, attack, patrol, and tracking. Oh the fun times. Yes, they do bite hard, when people are bruised through the suit and have a hard time walking, it is a very hard bite.

Certain dogs (more training) can find it buried underground in a plastic bag. But remember, they have to be able to find it where people hide it.
Airports also tend to use labs as well.
