Is there a thread/site with pics of all the color/coat variations?

dogsnkiddos · 03-11-2010, 01:44 PM

I have read and read the threads here about colors and coats and just when I think I understand I realized I missed something and everything I thought I just read was really something else. Is there a "for dummies" site or thread that maybe has pics? Something like, "this is a black and tan" "this is a blanket back" etc and then maybe bullet points under each of the basic requirements of each?

I really like this one:

I think the Linda Shaw site is the most technical and it's my first go to.
For pictures and some of the mroe bizarre colors I like these 2 sites...
4GSD - Coat Colours

GSD Patterns, Colors, Coat Lengths & More

The breed we love comes in so many varieties, that is what I love about it! Kinda like Labs, black , yellow and chocolate LOL! However no guessing there.

Another question...is there something similar that shows the pattern types (ie blanket back, saddle back, etc so I can compare visually those to the ones on that site and understand better? Did I mention I am the person for whom those "... for Dummies" books are written?

I just think that solid black, black sable, red sable and bi-color are absolutely stunning. I would love to have one of each.
