what colour

gsd do you prefer, there are so many different colours around , my prefrence is black/tan or bi-coloured ,

My preference is black and tan but theres some stunning solid blacks about too and theres a gorgeous sable one near us.

I love them all really!!! :2431:

Ive never seen one in those colours Sue :nhy: :nhy:

I prefer black/tan and i love a very dark face
having said that i also have a white. :2431:

It's not so much the colour for me but the individual dog


Of course I love my boy the way he is :love: but that's because it's him, I wouldn't worry if I woke tomorrow and he was another colour :nhy: but I would be as shocked as hell :san22:



I have seen a slate blue (if that's considered blue), there was one in Bryn's litter and the breeders had a 7 or 9 mth old there as well, he was there to be socialised as apparently he was a sod.

Never seen a Panda, or Liver

http://www.4gsd.net/colours.html some colours on here

That link is quite interesting, to see the different colours and progression from pup to adult, I always find that good, like the pictures of Viva on here

good link just shows how they can change in colour from pup to adult.
i do love bi coloured.

black

Black and Tan for me I like the darker coloured ones aswell Dark face with darker gold tan Like all the other colours aswell but this is my favourite

Sable and all black
Sorry BB & Xsara :2431:

sorry dogs 4 me , don't mean to leae you out , do you only have the 1 colour in your breed , sorry don't know anything about them

will not comment on this but put up the following

I'm confused Kenny I have read it but it doesnt say anything about colour does it?

sorry if Ive missed it .......i should wear glasses :2431:

breed standard Jude the other colours are breed faults

i hate to see blue shepherds ect im with kenny on this sorry guys

I love pure blacks Bi's and proper Sables not these wishy washy ones you see

but again colours last on the list to health and drive for me.

i would rescue a white shep but would also never go out of my way to buy one, the gene pool is far too small and i dont agree with breeding white on white at all. plus for work they are not the best as they are genrally weaker in temperment

I agree as I prefer the breed standard colours but it doesnt necessarily mean they are any lesser a dog for all that. I' m sure they are just as healthy (possibly more so) & certainly just as loved!!

i DO NOT like the KC never have, but i have trained and met many blues and very odd colours and imo they tend to have more health and behaviour issues due to breeding just for that colour. so the gene pools are very small

this is just my opinion not may ppl like my dogs, but i belive that health and temperment should come first b4 colour and coat length.

i would never have bought a dog like xena ever lol not my type of shep at all but i rescued her and loved her to bits

she was the dumbest dog i ever met and had more health issues to match lol but she was loved and thats all that matters.

but if her breeders had taken in to consideration correct breeding i wouldnt have lost her at 3yrs old nor would she have had sooo many health issues

karen thats the gsd breed council not KC, the breed council , gsd lge & BAGSD have now formed the gsd partnership to try force the KC to make Health issues compulsary for gsds before breeding, this will include dogs having to be breed surveyed.
AS the GSD is the only breed that the KC allows faults to be registered,
Blues/livers used to culled at birth as Know one wanted anyone to Know that sire or dame carried faulty genes.
We recently had a breeder in scotland advertising THE ONLY BLUES in Scotland for £ 850 the normal pups inlitter were £400 just another rip off on joe public.
I will bet they did not tell the new buyers that they were paying £450 more for a fault

sorry hun :2431:
i know nothing really,

just that i love the German Shepherd irraspective of colour, size, conformation, or coat. i love , the spirit, the drive, and the loyalty of the GSD
