I personally don't like them.
I like my regular GSD.

*cough* inbreeding *cough*Originally Posted By: wrennyCan I ask why it matters what color they are breeding? I may come off the wrong way but in response to Lucas and Historian's post, who cares about their "color fault."
I may be wrong, but if I recall correctly, the original "Panda" shepherd (Frankie?) was DNA'ed and she was a GSD???? Or at least her parents who are registered GSDs were DNA'ed as being her parents - guess I should say it that way.Originally Posted By: VinnieThis has been discussed many times on this board but for some reason I can’t find the original threads. If I recall correctly, these “panda shepherds” have never been proven to be purebred GSDs. So to me it’s like buying any other mixed bred. There’s nothing wrong with that but don’t try to pass them off and sell them as some “rare” form of GSD. That’s just deceiving.
I believe the sire & dam (to Franka) were "registered" as GSDs but not DNA tested to be proven purebreds. Registering doesn't mean a thing here in America really. It's just someone's word, written down on paper, money sent in to the registering agency - but nothing is proven by registration. I don't think her parents were ever proven to be purebred GSDs through DNA tests and therefore how can anyone say for sure that she was a purebred? That was always one of my biggest problem with these Panda Shepherds.Originally Posted By: ArycrestI may be wrong, but if I recall correctly, the original "Panda" shepherd (Frankie?) was DNA'ed and she was a GSD????
