black factored = carrying the black recessive. 'factored' is a term often heard in the bird world, i.e. 'red-factored canary'.
darryl - very nice explanations!

Is it my imagination, or are there just plain MORE black gsds the past five or so years than previously? There just seems to be a whole lot more than we used to see, even ten years ago.

I have to admit, I receive requests for black males more than anything else. If I were to focus on that, I'd probably do pretty well, but my priorities lie in the "working" concept. I would have recently considered a black son of Norbo Ben-Ju, ATHOS VOM HAUS FERKUHL, but passed because the handler came along as baggage (don't ask, I didn't get it either).
The 9+ generations of suppressed black is a good example of how recessives can perpetuate through a bloodline if you don't periodically backcross or linebreed to test your breeding stock. Continual outcrossing can prolong some inevitable surprises, some of which could be less pleasant.
