"Max" the dogs were all Belgium Malinois not a mix breed. KNPV...
"Unlike the dog sport programs such as IPO, Schutzhund, and even French Ring,
the KNPV has no requirement for dogs to hold an FCI or official pedigree.
In fact, around about 90% of the dogs titled in the KNPV program do not have
FCI or official pedigrees."
Police and the Militaries use imported dogs by using breeders that import.
They need stable dogs and mix breeds would not give that.

Let's face it: many of the
KNPV dogs are mixed breed dogs. They love Dutchies mixed
with Malinois 50/50. That's where the brindle coated
Mals come from. They also mix GSDs with Mals. They (the
KNPV) also keep purebred (FCI registered) Malinois And
Dutch Shepherds and used to keep a large number of GSDs at
one time, though not so much anymore. Plain to see by
my eyes that "Max" is a working mix of Shepherd
Dogs common to the militaries; more so than PB
GSDs. I imagine the press chose "GSD"
instead of "Malinois" just because who outside of
dogs knows what a Belgian Shepherd Dog of the Malinois
variety is?
