I think you should take him for outing for at least 30mins everyday and play with d dog. do not always chain d dog to have freedom of movement.

also am think it should be a Gsd mix dats my view

Tnx for the compliment.lwkmd,thosr ears.i even wanted to name him zomo coz of how long his ears are

You don't have to worry about the ears, you will hardly notice once he is fully grown.
Attached is my boy at few months.

Thanks for the info.btw ur dog is really cute

Socialize him a lot and the aggression could be redirected.

cc Seun He knows anything about GSD

Tnx a lot

the huge ears is normal for a puppy that will be huge, normarly as dey grow, they grow into d size of their ears, and for d aggression, it is just as a result of suppressed energy, try redirect is energy by engaging it in other activities. well olumoadebayo has said it all and given u a pics of one his pup wit long ears

na wa ooo. long ear, long tongue.

Read my post again,i had to explain dat he was yawning becoz of pple like you

Its a nice and new speeches...her mother is actually a mixbreed cross with another mixbreed...

can you EAR me?

I don't think you should bother about his ears. My pup also has big ears which look funny as well. They never really stay straight. your pup is cute, how old is he? They grow really fast. I'm amazed at my pups growth rate. Been with me for just 2 months and he's tripled in size. If he's socialised well he won't be aggressive but people will still be scared if they don't like dogs. Shadow( my pup) loves to jump and play with everyone but some people see it as he trying to bite and attack them. I've attached pics of him when I just got him and a recent pic

Thank you, I feed him a mix of dry puppy food(Arion) and can wet food(chicken soup for the dog lovers soul) I feed him 3 times a day, 6am, midday and 6pm.

Geez! He is gigantic. Is that feeding pattern not a little too much?

Hehehe, I don't think he's gigantic. According to all the research I've done he's just the ideal weight for his age. And the vet said I'm to feed him 4 times a day as a puppy but I don't have the time so I split it to 3 times instead.
