What is your favorite GSD color and coat type? - Page 3

Doggydog · 07-27-2010, 08:27 PM

My fave is the blanket back richly colored black/tans, esp. with a dark mask.
Dark sables are beautiful, and I think I like them as much as the blanket backs.
Bicolors are up there on my list. And I think my panda is pretty beautiful, but I prefer the darker coated ones like mine than the light ones.
Stock coat is my fave. The long haired look pretty, but I prefer a stock or plush coat.
I can't pick one. If I had the time, space, money... I could collect them all.

Heather,
It's too soon to tell your pups color. It will change. Ask again in 6 months or so. Better yet, what do the parents look like?

Black sables.

I just

them.

I'm also partial to the bi-colored. Love those dark dogs.

blk&tan, blk&red.

stock coat but on the plushy side (if plush/plushy
is correct).

I like the standard coats, but have seen some really gorgeous long coats as well. I also prefer black & red. Isn't funny how we all have our favorite "looks", as long as it's a GSD?

Dark/Black sable stock coat here as well.

Then red sables, blacks, red/black and tan/black and then bi-colours. I like the stock coats and although I think the long haired GSD's are cute, I just couldn't imagine all that brushing I would have to do!

Really I like all of them but my favorites are the Silver Sable and Bi Colour Black and Silver. Followed closley by the the Bi Color Back and Tan and Red Sables. Then the pure black sables, pure blacks, and pure whites. I prefer the standard coat but the long coat looks good also.

When I first came to this board, the ONLY color I wanted was a blanket black & tan. Now I fully admit, that color still makes my heart melt and I would totally want that color... very dark, almost bicolor... if I could have it from a responsible, trustworthy breeder and West German working lines. But now I like bicolors and dark sables almost as much, and would even go for a medium sable if it was the right pup. Stock coat.

I love, love, love, GSDs with contrast. Black and red or tan with mostly black, and a DARK face! The darker pattern the better and I like the medium length stock coat.

Love them all, but I'm a 'classic' kinda girl...I'm partial to the very classic look black and tan or black and reds, stock coat. The "traditional' "what you think of when you think "German Shepherd"
