Is my puppy black and cream, or is she different colours?

black and tan

There really is no 'cream.' Genetically, it's all tan whether the dog appears silver, red, etc.

I'd say black and tan.

Yep, I agree with the others. Black and Tan.
Also agree with Jamie's comment. "Cream" really is a shade of tan when it comes to GSDs.

the pup appears to be B/T but may lighten up significantly to what some describe as black and cream, but i doubt it.

where i understand that you guys are saying cream is a shade of tan, i disagree that red is (?). i've seen some dogs listed as red that appear to be just a richer shade of tan... but my dog in unmistakably red...

I also told that her father is a White GSD. Would you still consider her a Purebred? I had someone told me she wasn't

A White GSD is still a purebred GSD. So yes, I'd say she's still a purebred GSD.

Just what I thought, someone when I was walking her, tried to tell me she wasn't

Because her father is a solid white? No, white is just a masking gene in GSDs. The white just covers up his true colors. Under the white he could be black & tan or another color.

Yup just because the father is Solid White

Isn't it awful there's so many experts walking down the street. I swear some people just need to talk...

Re: Is my puppy Black & Cream or something differe

Yeah way to many experts out there in this world. I had someone ask me one time what kinda of dog is she, I'm like german shepherd. The lady is like oh I have one of those at home

^thats even funnier to me. like a guy who asked if my coated boy was a belgian tervuren. of course i said no but then he replied that its his favorite breed. i could only think that if its his favorite breed, then he should darn well know that my boy isnt one

The pup pictured is a black and tan with the white spotting gene causing white spots on the chest and feet.

Genetically both are "black and tan". Tan pigment can vary from very light (cream/silver) to deep orange red, and is governed by genes located at a different locus from the dog's general color (e.g. sable, black & tan, bicolor, etc...). Regardless of depth of tan pigment, the dog's genetic color is still black & tan.

Also something else that's funny is my ex gf, has a mixed bred GSD and Chow. Her parents and her always said that the dog was part police GSD and that it's a kind of bred, I just rolled my eyes

Black and tan, pretty puppy!

interesting. i assume pigment is genetic tho? meaning two black/cream dogs arent likely to throw a pup as rich as those photos i linked right?

can a dog be registered as black/red, black/cream etc?
