He is a nice looking dog and you can tell he has German Sheperd in him for sure. Now to know if he is a pure bread that one is not really possible unless you received papers on him when you bought him or you pay for a DNA Test. Most German Sheperds have more brown around his face but this does not mean he is not a pure bread.

How adorable!! Have you had your vet weigh in? The vet can look at his teeth and jaw, bones, hips, etc. and check him out against breed standards.

If I were to guess, I would say there is a lot of German Shepherd in this sweet package and some Belgian Sheepdog/Shepherd.

Very cute! Wishing you lots of happy trails and adventures!

Your dog looks like there's a lot of German Shepherd in him. However, he doesn't seem to have the typical stance of a purebred German Shepherd. I don't really have any ideas as to what other breed or breeds he might be mixed with. I do know he is incredibly handsome!

I'm not sure because from what I've heard over the years is that a black German Shepard is all black and I see some light colors in his feet/legs.

Of course this could just mean he is not a "Black German Shepard" but a mixed color.
I did find an article on Black German Shepard that you might find interesting as most of the information will fit for any type Shepard and yours may be mixed but appears to have a lot of Shepard.

Did you ever meet his parents?
Were you told he was a purebred?
Usually you can tell a lot from the parents.

I do not know how old he is but I hope that he seeing a vet on a regular basis and receives all of his shots/vaccinations. You can ask your vet but they will probably just tell you he has a lot of 'Shepard".

You can always do a DNA test if you really wish to know for sure.
These are not as expensive as in the past and can be purchased at pet supply stores as well as online.

Your dog looks to me like he may have some Malinois in him. He also looks to have a lot of German Shepherd.
