Has anyone seen a pup like mine?

FreyaKing · 03-03-2013, 01:52 PM

Hi All,I am new here and really want to know if there are any other GSD out there that look like mine. I was told she is a liver sable, which she is, but when I look pics of them up, I can't find a single one that looks like her. Freya's white muzzle makes everyone think she is a wolfdog or coydog. I have had her since Wednesday and only have a few pics. As mentioned in my introduction in the noob spot, she has been a real spook, and until today, ran from the camera, lol. There are a couple more pics in my intro though. Any thoughts? No mask? Reverse mask? Thanks for any input!!!

I never have, but she's very pretty.

Are you sure she isn't mixed? Do you have a pedigree? I have seen the reverse mask on GSDs before, with the liver sable coloring it looks very unique. I can see why people might think she is a hybrid, she has that "wild" look to her. Very pretty.

She does looks like a liver sable? Sable liver? Sliver? Lable? Very pretty!

Thank you! Yes, she is AKC. The former owner never registered her, but she came with the paperwork and I just submitted all info. One parent was a liver sable, the other solid white. When I saw her pic, I had to have her...I had no idea a GSD could look like her. Hahaha, I will just call her a Sliver lable shepherd (and hope someone doesn't think I am having a stroke, lol).

She's beautiful! Her eye coloring is what makes her look coyote to me though she probably is pure GSD but I haven't at least seen one with such light colored eyes before.

Looks liver, the nose leather is not black and the eyes are light.

Liver, no...not in "real life" (though in pictures, yes).

Sako is a silver sable (and belonged to a friend) so I have seen the reverse mask "in real life". He is 100% GSD.

I think the liver coloring in your pup is very interesting. I love sables in general

Where did she come from? You generally won't see sables like yours or like Sako because reputable breeders won't breed for those markings. Still, they are quite stunning to see!

Liver sable. Not a reverse mask, though. The white on her muzzle is basically the white gene expressing itself, showing that she carries for white

Beautiful dog. Almost looks part Czech wolf dog if I'm remembering right..
