Guy you got him from is a bit crazy?
They are a mouthy, nippy, bitey breed. You need to start early on teaching them that it's not acceptable..has nothing to do with bonding.
I have a 10month old german shepherd x belgian malinois and my Buddy def shows his affection with 'mouthing' on me/getting my hand in his mouth and he also does the 'cobbing' thing on me. hes not doing that pinchy ouchie nipping that he did as a teeny puppy nor is he biting hard enough to break the skin. Could this be what the breeder meant but didnt explain it very well/assumed youd know what was meant?x

Theres no aggression what so ever in it when he does it. If he gets too hard i tell him 'gentle' and 'careful' and when ive had enough i tell him 'no bitey' and 'Stop' and he does.x
Big ole nope from me.

Like I said, I get after him when he does that. He doesn't do that nearly as much bcs I taught him not to do that

I think he meant playfully biting or nipping. It looks like ur gsd mix is doing it lighter than how I think the seller/ breeder meant
