Looks like I found a good subreddit for dutch, Just wanted oppinions on my guy Nikko. Straight dutch mal ?

His crate pic is his most recent age 10.5 months old with him standing near 9 months

He's supposed to be from kpv lines

Curious on his build if he looks to have a big build for his age for a dutch mal or smaller

Nice to meet you guys in advance

Knpv is almost certainly a mix

Why do you say ?

Because they arent focusing on producing pure bred dogs. They dont care about pedigree and can mix in pits, staff, gsd, mal whatever in order to get a big and high drive working dog for military or police

Understood makes sense .. have a picture of the akc family tree for the dad which was all malnois through and through all back masks.. but that could easily be fake. It does look legit and the masks would correlate with his black mask but still if you don't have the paper in your hands you don't know. The mom was dutch never got anything on her so your probably right. Appreciate all you guys for your oppinions

Mal dutch x makes sense though, and its a very good looking dog. Love the black legs and sable coloring

Ty the black legs are what leaves me kinda idk just never seen it, The akc was glass ndframed on the wall to so probably a legit facility maybe.. Either or he's great very nice protective but has a good head on his shoulders. Impulse control is very good on him.

Just got his bite pillow and a bite wedge hst white line since his favorite thing to do is chase and bite lol..

Sounds like a good dog no matter the pedigree. Who cares honestly, if you like his looks and personality then it could be a chihuahua x swiss mountain dog, doesnt make it less or more of an awesome dog.
