Brindle GSD?

1Akasha2005 · 12-03-2007, 09:38 PM

There is a Dog in Bainbridge that Looks Just like a GSD but it is a Brindle Color.
My question is do GSD even still come in Brindle?
Here are photo's of this guy.

Wow! Awesome! I don't know about brindle GSDs. My BF said he saw one one time & would love to have one. Very pretty!

Dutch Shepherd?

Dont know, they have him Listed as a Shep X Just wanted to see what you guy's thought about him. If he was a GSD in fact or a Mix.

I read somewhere there were brindles but not anymore, He looks sable love to see a full picture or maybe a "stack shot" as best you can get

I read somewhere, but unfortunately don't recall where, that brindle used to be an acceptable color in German Shepherd dogs early on in the breed, but that it is no longer found.

It is really hard to tell from these photos since we can't see the dog's body structure, but I think it's a mix. In the second picture, the ear shape and the wide short muzzle make me think mix. I don't think Dutch Shepherd, either. The muzzle doesn't look right, IMHO.

I would love to see a picture from the side.

He's a very pretty boy, regardless of what he is.

Just before we got Abby, there was another dog I'd seen online just looking at different shelters and dog ads, that almost looked like this boy but with a longer muzzle - probably a GSD / Malinois mix in his case. I really like the brindle coloring and would love to see it in GSDs.

I say Dutch shepherd or dutch shepherd mix. They can look pretty much like a brindle GSD with a straight back. These is a SAR Dutch shepherd I handled once in France.

More than the muzzle, wat doesn't look right to me in the dog are the low implanted ears.
