And after they hit you and start biting it's game over. Even with protective gear the pressures they exert with their bites are painful as hell. You see some of these guys fighting with them, that's either adrenaline or drugs.
I've heard that the dogs are given commands in a language other then English. In your exeperience, any truth to that?
Most are given the commands in Dutch (as I recall), because there are fewer words that sound similar.
Thanks. I'd read it was either German or Dutch. Figured the reason was so that whomever was being chased couldn't just tell the dog to "stop" in English.
It's what DaSaint mentioned. German/Dutch words are much more distinct sounding than English words
