.......I never have. His papers are GSD. But recently someone mentioned that he must be Malinois because there is no way that she has never seen a dog that was a golden sable color like mine (apparently her family raised GSDs in the Midwest).

It makes me wonder. I have never ever seen a GSD like mine even on the internet. There are similars but none that are yellowish-gold in color like a lab.

Maybe he isn't a GSD like I have always assumed, Thoughts?

He's gorgeous! I've seen a few at my local rescues. There was a member here who's dog passed away and it looked like yours. My dog has a saddle and people think she's part mal-I think the general public don't realize how many colors GSDs come in. I've never seen a saddle less shepherd with such a nice mask as yours, though.

Cool. This dog is even more yellow than my dog. I started to think that maybe my papers didn't mean anything and he was mixed GSD/Malinois/???. I don't care I love my dog as much as anyone ever could.

thanks for the feedback!

glad I could help. I wish I had pics of the ones I've met but I was so in awe of their coloring it didn't cross my mind until I was already at home lol.

looks pretty GSD to me. haven't seen that color in real life, but his Golden is not really golden, it's more like the tan color most sables have, or more precisely the lighter phase of the sable color change.

He is a nice looking boy..but hes got a red hue on his back and ears..I wonder maybe if he is almost like a faded liver sable or something..But i guess if he wa liver at all he would have that pinky looking nose and around his eyes...But looks like his pigment isnt too light. He's cute w.e his colour is..if hes called a golden sable then I guess thats what he is lol

Our girl is 1/2 Mali and she has the same coloring. I saw a chart once on the different color combos for GSDs and the closest we've come to a determination on Suki's coloring is 'Blonde' GSD. Her father was a sable, mom was a Mali.
