One ole man when I first got into GSD's explained it for me... German Shepherds are Black and Red/tan unless they're the color of Rin-tin-tin (Blk/silver). Alsations are much like them, but are more brown, and often long haired (Sables... coat). The All Black ones are Belgium Shepherds (Sheepdog I think he meant)... they USED to be German Shepherds but they were separated and bred exclusively in Belgium. They even have a long haired version (Tervuren). Of course the White ones are actually part Arctic Wolf. His input and wisdom has been suplimented by many a ringside genius inparting their wisdom to the person next to them.
