Choosing the puppy for me!
Ok so here's the deal, I have put a deposit on a litter of White GS pups. But I am now looking through all this puppy info and I think I'm falling in love with the solid black GSD's. EEEKK! I feel if maybe I get some more opinions it would help BUNCHES!

What do you want opinions on? Whether you like black or white better?

Pretty much, all black GSD's are from working lines and are usually higher drive than the whites. White GSD breeders usually are breeding for color/show not sportwork.
So as far as what color you like best really should come down to what are your plans for the pup? Are you planning on doing any type of sport/activities? I would research lines a bit more before you decide what you want, color should be your last choice.

Because most SL breeders breed for black&red or B&T. So genetically they don't carry the black gene(or sable for that matter)Though ASL have those colors now and then...
This thread is interesting, breaking down percentages: Color breakdowns (%'s) Last edited by onyx'girl; 03-27-2011 at 04:54 PM. |

Absolutely not the case in the SL breeders that i have been around and shown with/against - in fact there are a few who specialize in all blacks! It is true there are fewer sables among the top show kennels but B&T and all blacks are very very common in the US show ring. One of my old show girls was very close to an all blck and he daddy was a top Select all black. |

American SL~yes....
Can you give some pedigree info on what you've seen or which kennels? I remember a thread awhile back(tried to search and didn't find it) asking for black SL examples. Only a couple were posted. And they were ASL not German. |

Your original post simply refered to "SL" and didn't specify German or other nationality. |

I did post: "Though ASL have those colors now and then.."
Didn't know I had to specify which SL... as blacks are not that common, regardless. Maybe you could help Stamper by suggesting kennels or pedigrees that "specialize" in them? Last edited by onyx'girl; 03-27-2011 at 09:20 PM. |
