This dog is gorgeous, but I’m betting he’s still German Show lines mostly. (Candid pix can fool the viewer.)
They are not “mixed”, there are several types (unless you mean the Shiloh/King oversized dogs which have been accused of being part Malamute, etc) that have arisen from same stock. Unfortunately, none of them is perfect.
True, I was more referring to the Germans Shepherds we see which are bred with labs, or other kinds of dogs.
Though that Shiloh are massive , but the ones I have come across do have a nice temperament.
The breeders in Belgian Tervurens are trying very hard to protect that breed from going the way of being mixed.
There is a breeders near me who breeds German Shepherds and when I asked to see the papers as I was interested in buying a couple he refused to show me papers and I found out he has been inter breeding.
I do want another two now my dog has recently died, and it will be a German Shepeherd as great as Belgian Tervurens/shepherds are they are also connect with the Alpha person of the family i.e.me which pisses me wife off LOL.
