A White GSD is still a purebred GSD. So yes, I'd say she's still a purebred GSD.Originally Posted By: chumpI also told that her father is a White GSD. Would you still consider her a Purebred? I had someone told me she wasn't
Isn't it awful there's so many experts walking down the street. I swear some people just need to talk...Originally Posted By: chumpJust what I thought, someone when I was walking her, tried to tell me she wasn't

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.Originally Posted By: Camerafodder
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...
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 eyesOriginally Posted By: BetsyOriginally Posted By: chumpYeah way to many experts out there in this world.

that is too funny, she doesnt know what kind of dog she has????
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?Originally Posted By: Chris WildThe pup pictured is a black and tan with the white spotting gene causing white spots on the chest and feet.
