Hello! I actually like the 12 month old Kangal/Neo mix very much. It still has a lot to develop and to fill out, but at only a year old it looks good! Also, because a show dog person says that it is structurally unsound does not mean that the dog cannot work. Many true working dogs would fail miserably at being a little model being paraded around the ring!! I would take that kangal/neo mix, or mutt, over any show Akita or show Neo ANY DAY!!!!!!! So please keep us posted with his progress!!!!! And please, don't listen to the people that come here and bash one's dogs! These are very unhappy people with lots of complexes!! Keep doing what you're doing and enjoy your dogs!!
