A pre-game meal routine might look like this: 1  Eat breakfast within the first hour after waking. 2  Have a high-carbohydrate, moderate-protein and low-fat and fiber meal 3 to 4 hours before the game.  Eat a snack about an hour before the opening whistle.
German shepherds and retrievers are commonly used, but the Belgian Malinois has proven to be one of the most outstanding working dogs used in military service. Around 85 percent of military working dogs are purchased in Germany or the Netherlands, where they have been breeding dogs for military purposes for hundreds of years. In addition, the Air Force Security Forces Center, Army Veterinary Corps and the 341st Training Squadron combine efforts to raise their own dogs; nearly 15 percent of all military working dogs are now bred here.
Dogs have a far better track record of quickly finding bombs, the New York Times reports. The military has kept mum on the breed of the dog, but the military usually has relied on Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds and Labradors in previous missions. The Belgian Malinois is a breed not as well known as the German Shepherd or the Labrador, but it is also trained to herd sheep. All three breeds possess the speed, agility and sense of smell needed in war zones.
