Now I understand "nerves" in a whole new light. Bad nerves is the dog inabilty to deal with its own drives. (spinning, teeth clacking, ect.)

Would a dog that is calm before the bite (no barking) while the decoy is present be an example of very good nerves?

Like this...

I love his fight on bite. I'd really like to see him under pressure. Tail strait, ears back, low growl you are gonna git bit. I like him

Hi Hank. This is one of my favorite dogs! I hope to get a pup from him.

More pressure :)

its good but i want a good barker and i like a dog that snaps its jaws trying to get a man that is wearing shorts and t shirt rather than a equipment orientated prey monster. Depends what you want out of your dog and the purpose. Id want my dog to act like the dog in the video after it does the whole barking routine. It should be able to do everything.  These are not gsds though either. Id never want a mal for pp.

I'm with destiny. I like those who see the person and immediately start the bark, and who aren't afriad to hit somewhere besides an arm. The mother of my pup is one who has tremendous fight drive, who will hit you square in the back to bring you down, or in the shoulder, or chest, anywhere to bring you down. Not just in the arm. I'd like to see this dog in a realistic setting, where the guy doesn't just offer him the arm, and see how he reacts. But hey, that's just me. I'd like to know that if someone attacked me or broke into my house, that my dog isn't looking for a sleeve. And I'd like to know if my dog would alert me to someone strange.

Im sure he would bark if asked, but for tatical police work would it be important to have a dog that was able to stay calm, still and quiet?

Not like this, lol.

That dog will hit body as qwick with out suit as fast as with one. He doesn't have any problem biting the body. Good grief should a person be ripped to shreads to see if a dog can demolish a decoy. I don't think that would be a pretty sight. The videos were good KellyJ

I'm the complete opposite. I'd like to see a dog that goes "dead" on a bite -- being hectic and fighting while on the bite, just in my opinion, is an example of a dog that is not as clear-headed as I'd like to see, and can often be a bit nervy. 

Going dead on a bite while the decoy is fighting, screaming, flailing, shows solid nerves. No chewiness, no re-adjusting (aside from maybe an initial rebite) - just staying on the bite until told to out.

This is just my preference. I'm sure someone is just dying to say I'm wrong. ;)
