Belle at 6 weeks old, 10 weeks old And now at 8 months. At 6 weeks you can see big black marks on her legs going into her tan and by 10 weeks they were almost gone! She wasn't very tan when we picked her up.. She has way more tan on her face now and around her ears! She also has a beautiful tan "mane".
Bi-colors have 'penciling' on their toes and 'tar heels' on their back legs. They don't change color much, if at all, over the course of their lives.
Good examples of bi-color dogs:
Your dog, like my 5 year old, is a blanket back black and tan. They lighten as they age. My girl looked a bit like she may be bi-color as a puppy, but has lightened as she matured and now, though still dark, is pretty typical of a blanket back black and tan.
It is very hard to tell what a GSD will look like! I thought for sure my girl would be a classic black and tan saddle pattern which she is but her silver sable has really come out around her tail and neck.
