The malis and sheps have a bite strength between 200 and, maybe, 300 psi. Our giant schnauzers are coming out of the box at between 400 and 450 psi. They are breaking and crushing bones when they make a hit. Malis and sheps like to corn cob and rip when they bite.

A tall, black, shaggy giant schnauzer has been turning heads since becoming a member of the U.S. Air Force’s 100th Security Forces Squadron two and a half years ago.
Brock is the first giant schnauzer to work alongside German shepherds and Belgian Malinois for the Department of Defense in more than 30 years.

Since 1913 the breed has been registered in a stud book, and in 1925 already the Giant Schnauzer has officially been recognised as a working dog. General appearance: Large, powerful, stocky rather than slim. An enlarged, powerful image of the Schnauzer. An imperturbable dog, prepared for defense, whose appearance fills with respect. Giant Schnauzers are loyal and courageous guard dogs. Because they learn easily, though, you can train Giant Schnauzers to differentiate between welcome visitors and everyone else. Their bite force is enormous and they have one of the highest “bit.
Feb 09, 2020 Whether your biting puppy is a Miniature Schnauzer or any other breed of dog you will need to have patience with your pet. You will also need to understand why your puppy continues to bite even though you are spending time trying to teach him to stop biting everything he sees.

Staff Sgt. Kelly Webster, a military working dog kennel master, said the unusual breed was at the top of the list for a new military working dog.
“We just got the luck of the draw with Brock,” Webster said. “His personality is out of this world. He’s almost a hundred pound dog but runs around and looks like a big puppy.”
Brock was originally intended for the Transportation Security Administration, but the TSA only accepts sniffer dogs that aren’t trained to bite.
Brock fits the U.S. Air Force requirements for much needed patrol dogs and began initial training basic training — obedience and aggression, explosive or narcotics detection and patrol work — at the 341st Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.
After arriving to RAF Mildenhall, Brock teamed up with first-time handler Staff Sgt. Dominick Young. He said they initially struggled to bond during the 45-90 day validation process to become fully certified for security operations.

“It was rough at first because he’s one of those dogs where you need to gain his trust and respect,” Young said. “I came in on my days off to take him on walks and play with him and that’s pretty much all it took.”
Now they protect the base during 12-hour shifts at night and recently worked alongside Secret Service dog teams as part of the security detail for President Donald Trump’s visit to the G-20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany.
Young said even the Secret Service agents were surprised to see Brock in uniform.
“They’ve never seen a giant schnauzer (in uniform) either, so I got the same reaction from them,” Young told Stars and Stripes.
The U.S. military began enlisting the breed for military service during World War II. But after the war, German shepherds gradually became the preferred military dog.

Young will have to pass on his canine partner to a new handler when he transfers to a new assignment in February.
“I’ll be devastated,” Young said. “I’ve built such a close bond with him.”
