German Shepherd Colors.

Jessiewessie99 · 05-15-2010, 03:14 AM

I was randomly googling German Shepherds and came across this:

The only German Shepherd colors I have seen are: Black & Tan, Black & Red, Black, White, Silver Sable, Bi- Colored, & Panda.

I have never seen: Red Sable, Tan("Gold") Sable, Tan & Liver, Liver, Steele Blue, Powder Blue & Tan, or Golden Shepherds.

If anyone has pics of the actual colors I have not seen above please post them. And also if its allowed, name off breeders who do this. Unless, these colorings just happen.

Also breeders feel free to post comments if you have had any of these other colorings.

I just thought this was interesting.

I'm pretty sure that Murphy is a red sable. I'll have to see how his coat looks as he grows, his only 5 wks now

That poster was created by Abbyk9 on this forum (Chris, has Abby and Ronja). A lot of people use it on their website with permission, and some without.

I've never seen those colours that you mention either - would be very unusual.

I think a lot of those colors are flukes or backyard breeders breeding for bad colors that are unhealthy or unatural (or both!). I certainly wouldn't buy any out of the norm. Most are like mutations with the silver labrador.

Why do you have him so soon?

FuryanGoddess · 05-15-2010, 10:29 AM

He's not here yet. I got pix of him though

DJEtzel · 05-15-2010, 11:45 AM

Ah, gotcha! I love red sables. Can't wait till he comes home to you and you can take tons of pictures!
