Wow and I thought Mia had drive when she was this age. LOL!

I laughed the entire time! So cute! I didn't have Apollo when he was a puppy but it seems like he would have been that hyper because he is that hyper now. He is non stop going ALL DAY until I go to bed. Even after our long walks he may poop out for 15 to 20 minutes tops and he's back at it.

Lol... Otto is like this... Enzo not so much. My husband jokes that he has two kids, a wife and one dog with ADHD. Him and Enzo are the only normal ones.... Lol!

Whoa...that's Bruiser but he would have that pen knocked over in 5 minutes

drive ? or hyper? There was a whole lot of tail chomping while the pup was in the cardboard box and then more catch the tail outside.
I like relentless drive and determination , but I can not stand a hyper dog. They are not one and the same.

Strongly agree with this. Drive needs to be paired with an off switch and an ability to calm down.

Although I guess it's possible that pup's owner might be under-exercising him.

That pup in the video is Cindy's(from her breeding, I believe).
Malinois are that way, and I'm sure they made the video to show that they aren't the breed for just anyone.
I also agree the GSD should be balanced and not a crazy hyper destructive thing.
Tail chasing is a dangerous habit, I remember Karlo would do it at that age when he was overtired. I'd redirect him immediately and he only did it a couple of times. He was never overly hyper however, and still has a great off switch!
