Your boy looks just like mine. Even with the squiggly down the back. I'll post a pic.

Here he is at 9 months

I've enjoyed reading through this thread. Since I've gotten my girl I've wondered what her coat will turn out like. She's my first GSD, her mom is more of what I consider a blanket back and her father was a light sable. Bruin, Diesel7602 how old are your dogs? My girl is kind of similar to both of yours.

KayDub, your girl is very pretty! Bru is my first GSD too he is just a few days over 6 months. He is the only black and tan boy in his litter of 9 (with 6 boys!). His dad is black and red and his mom is black and tan. He started out really dark and is getting lighter and lighter as he gets older. I don't necessarily want him to grow up any quicker, but I'm excited to see what he looks like as an adult! thanks for sharing what your girl looks like too

He was so fluffy when he was younger! I love how un-GSD like they look when they are that young.

Bru turned 6 months on 10-29 and weighed 60 pounds. I haven't measured his height yet but I'm told he's on the tall side. I'll have to check! Here are a few of him as a puppy too.

There are a few other posts somewhere around here with great links to more thorough descriptions, but essentially, how I think of it, is to imagine a horse's saddle on the back of the GSD versus a blanket. The saddle will have a smaller area of black than the blanket. It really doesn't make a difference at all, it's just fun to see them change over time IMO

Saddle back will look like a saddle, and the blanket back has no saddle. I thought my boy was going to be a blanket back, but now his legs started to change. So I think he will be a saddle.

That photo explains it perfectly and simply. My girl is 8 months old, I believe she will end up being saddle back as well.

This is her when I got her.
