Y'all know what I'm gonna say, right?

Long coats, Red & Black and Solid Blacks. Had three gorgeous solid black long coats and everybody else has been Red & Black (mostly due to how rare solid black long coats pop in litters...).

Yep, I'm Ana and I'm a coatie fan!

Cheers!

Solid black, like mine! Then black or red sable - the darker, the better. Followed by the West German showline red and black - rich color. I thnk Lies' dogs are just gorgeous, if I were stepping away from the blacks, I might be interested in their lines.

Standard coat. Have always had the more coated herding dogs - Collies, Aussies, and I'm finding the GSD short coat so much easier to deal with. I'm finding she doesn't even shed so much - unless her hair is "lost" in the collies' shedding.

I love all colors and coats, but black and red plush coat is my favorite!

Always thought the sables in my area were harder to get. I got my black and tan boy,and prefer it more actually than the sables. I think it's the more traditional color,and no one will be confused as to what he is when they walk by him..

After getting my boy,I have seen nothing but the sables when I go to festivals and such!

Oh I'm a sucker for really richly pigmented black and reds. As far as coat length goes, I'm not really crazy about the long coat look (although the fuzzy ears are cute lol), so I'd lean towards plush coat.

I love how my cream and off-white boy looks, but if I had to truly pick a color, I'd pick black and tan. They are just snazzy.

Long-coated German Shepherds are my favorite (sorry Bianca ) or plush coated. I like all the colors GSDs come in, but for the saddle back type I prefer either the rich red, or silver (not so much the in-between tan colors.)
If I had to pick favorite colors I'd say black and red, black sable or red sable.
I think the disqualified colors are gorgeous too (blue, liver, "panda" etc...)
