is that your lads dog ( 1x bel mal x gsd ) any pics, and what the temp like. i know a bloke who trains both Alsatians / and bel mals for the army ,and helps pick (advice )young dogs for the police . he said the army/ police may have x the 2 breeds,for better working dogs, they want the size/power of the gsd but health and drive of the bel mal . wonder if they did breed them , if the litter would vary in size and temp much .
the police in brussels seem to have a lot of mal gsd crosses... take a look at them on the news
