color choice

[trakr]

Can someone give me a idea as to which of these pups would look like Mom or Dad? Im thinking the darker ones would have thier Dads markings, which would give me more options to choose from as far as temperment and behavior goes. Dont get me wrong, Both parents are very beautiful GSDs, i just favor the Dads colors more, but if we get a female Id want the pup to look more like Mom, thanks

Looks like three sables and four black & tans. The blacker pups are the B&Ts.

The very dark ones will be a black and tan(like their sire), the brown are sable(mom's color)...usually the breeder will choose the pup for you.

Should be pretty easy to tell in person, and the breeder should be able to tell you. Dad is a black and tan and mom is a sable. The lighter colored pups in your photo are sable, the one on the bottom is a black and tan, the one on the far left looks like a black and tan, and the other dark ones it's hard to tell from the pic if they are dark sables or black and tan, due to their position.

The breeder should select the right temperament puppy (puppies) for you and then you choose color as the last option based on what colors are available in the pups that suit you best. Not the other way around.

The pups with the peppered like coloring will look like mom. The pups with the mostly black with some tan will look like dad. So look like mom equals 3 and look like dad equals 4. Why dont you ask the breeder?

what do you want a male or female? pick
the sex you want and then pick the color.
if the sex and color isn't in the litter you picked
find another litter or wait for it happen in that litter (if
it does).

Just want to reiterate this.

A good breeder will ask you questions about your lifestyle and what you're expecting to do with your dog. He/she will choose the best puppies for you, and then if there's more than one you can choose the color you like.

A crappy breeder will say, "Pick out whichever one you want."

Agreed.

Thanks for the replies, actually this isnt a "breeder", People were wanting pups of the two and so it happened.

Breeder nevertheless. Pick the one with the best temperament.
