I think WGSDs are pretty.lol.
I think that was proven to be an old wives' tale actually.All white is considereed a breed flaw because one of the breeds main objective is herding and an white dog blends in too well with the livestock they are intended to herd and is not as effective.
I saw a liver GSD once. It wasnt really what I'd call a liver color, more like a rich chocolate. She had the most beautiful piercing emerald green eyes.I can honestly say that I have only seen one white GSD in person. I have never seen a Panda or Liver GSD in person. Also you would not believe how many people have told me that they did not know GSD's came in any other color besides black/tan. People to this day do not believe that my black GSD is purebred. Before I got my black GSD I had never seen one in person, I just knew that they were out there.
that seems like a pretty dog!I saw a liver GSD once. It wasnt really what I'd call a liver color, more like a rich chocolate. She had the most beautiful piercing emerald green eyes.
I know isnt there another breed of dog thats white for a reason?I remember seeing 2 of them walking around in this small town near San Diego.I forgot the dog names, but they were big, white, with floppy ears, and were white to trick wolves into thinking they were sheep.I think that was proven to be an old wives' tale actually.
Great Pyrenees are white livestock guardian dogs as are Akbash, Kuvasz, and Maremma.I know isnt there another breed of dog thats white for a reason?I remember seeing 2 of them walking around in this small town near San Diego.I forgot the dog names, but they were big, white, with floppy ears, and were white to trick wolves into thinking they were sheep.
Yes, they're more a chocolate brown color. Liver in GSDs is actually the exact same genetic mechanism as chocolate Labs. A chocolate lab is a black lab with liver dilution, just as a liver GSD has it's black markings diluted. Same genes.I saw a liver GSD once.

Didn't someone that used to post here frequently have a beautiful liver GSD? I think she also had a regular black/tan one also. The B/T was a female, and the liver was a male she adopted as a pup who almost died shortly thereafter, but I don't remember why. I just remember photos and the discussions of him being in the doggie ICU hooked up to IV's and whatnot.Yes, they're more a chocolate brown color.

Yea that one.those are huge dogs.Great Pyrenees are white livestock guardian dogs as are Akbash, Kuvasz, and Maremma.
You might want to start a new topic about raising a 5 week old pup. She/he is really very young to already be away from the litter.My pup is only 5 weeks old, a little early probaly to leave its mother but mother actually had 12 pups and stopped feeding them i guess after she kept getting bit, ( well that is what the owner told me anyways) I realize it is too early to tell being my dog is still a really small puppy but I hope that its not true that the white ones are meaner. I am kinda dumb on that part i guess but i always thought it didtn matter the color, what mattered is the way you raise it. Any suggestions ?
