Liver sables anyone? - Page 7

When it comes to Liver and Blue German Shepherds, IGNORANCE RULES!!!! You want to stick to Standards, Check out the sizes, of a Majority of Top Line Dogs. There are SOOoooo Many Dogs, that look, mal-nourished, trying to keep them within the , "Standard Weight" Out of THE BEST BLOODLINES, come 'Blue and Liver' Pups!! There has been So many Posts Where SO many BREEDERS of Top Lines state that, They will HIDE the fact they get Blues or Livers, or at the very least, they won't PUBLICLY Acknowledge they get, or Have Them. The ORIGINAL, German Shepherds are made up of White German Shepherds!

 Can someone tell me   what   a   Blue Sable long hair from Old lines IS???

luvmidog, I think they are basically referring to Alsation lines. Or like some breeders in america woul say they breed old style gsd.  could mean the same thing.  little to no rear angulation, longcoat, oversized dogs.

NOT THAT!!!!!

Bluemoon is a stunning blue sable boy, a gentle giant very easy and sociable.

It is on our site and I have seen several from this Kennel  .   And these are bred on purpose. 

Well here I go again I've found a new debate on colour.
I have only ever seen 1 liver at GSD training. His name was fudge and that was what he looked like - a great big piece of chocolate fudge.
He had the most piercing yellow/gold eyes which seemed to fit with the brown nose, lips pads etc.
The young teenager that was training him obviously loved him as it was his first dog
How many of us have started out young with a dog we thought was great (questionable) and them gone on to breed and promote the dogs we love
From humble beginnings great things come....

I personally don't care what color a dog is. 
I place health and temperament far more important when choosing a breeding dog.  the best producing bitch for working drives and trainability I have ever had the pleasure of owning and being around was a blk/silver old american  bitch. She had non stop ball drive, would have tried her best to jump over the moon if I had asked her, and she produced pups just like her.  all had the most wonderful temperments, the owners hardly ever had to correct them as if they were born already trained.  they were protective when need be.  they even generally knew what you expected or wanted of them before you did.  I would do anything to have a pup out of her, but I never did keep one because she wasn't a "german" dog and didn't have a "notable" pedigree.  I could kick myself for being so foolish.  I have also owned a bi-color liver dog.  I placed her with a friend in Okl. because she was softer in temperament (not shy or skittish, just soft) than I normally keep.  She has the most wonderful temperment though, and loads of ball drive. 

But each breeder has a right to choose whether or not they want to breed dilutes or whites, and its also their right to place these puppies on whatever registration status they want (breeding or non-breeding). you can't blame someone for choosing to not allow one of their puppies to be bred.

her sire was a traditional blk/red male, mom a bi-color.  out of 6 puppies, 2 were born liver.  this pair had been bred together 4 other times and NEVER produced livers until the last breeding.  the breeder didn't even know what to call them.  She had them as "reds" (like red dobies)
