Actually when I stand on them it doesn't chirp and it does not release
and grab like ABS. No pulse. It may slip twice before it stops. And
it rolls far to much. Its not the rapid fire pulse you get with ABS.
I've had cars with ABS before and this doesn't feel right. The only
time I've been able to lock the front tires was in the rain on wet
pavement going down hill. With the rear wheel ABS it should lock the
front tires but pulsate with the back.

The feeling you just described is the ABS kicking in.
All Daks (at least 2000 and up) have rear ABS standard. And it does
feel
like it grabs, then lets go, and grabs again etc....
What you should do is take it out somewhere in the open, get up to about
30
mph (50 km/h) and slam on the brakes, really stand on them.
You should hear the wheels chirp a bit, not totally lock, but they will
chirp, release, chirp, release etc. until you stop. You've obviously
notice
this sound if there is some loose sand or light gravel on the tarmac
surface
to make the tires slip that much more.
