Thanks for the update. She looks just like a normal Sw white ie. a normal GSD tanpoint with a large expanse of white. Not normally possible from two solid coloured parents so the possibility of a new mutation remains.

Both mom and dad are gorgeous. I would kill to have a GSD in dads color! <3
I don't really know much about this, but I do know you can test "panda" with a DNA test.

But,
This could be a piebald too. Being a genetics student you probably know there are dominant and recessive genes.
Panda is recessive, and Piebald is dominant. That means two "normal" GSD easily can have a piebald pup.
Plus he looks like a piebald to me too hehehehe. This dog is a piebald :-)

I hope this helps. She is so cute btw!

Hi, just popped in again as I do every so often.

That dog looks more like a spitz type, not GS (although it somewhat looks GS). The ears are very short and the face a bit round looking with small muzzle relative to skull, at least in this pix.

Oh, and incidentally it's "piebAld". ;-)

No it's a husky, I couldn't find a shep ;-) But it's about the color :-)
Ghehe that's just me, trying to be "smart" and all and then writing the name wrong I'll change it ;-)

I,m hoping that the 2 are not bred any more and atleast the male is neutered as well as the pups. These type of faults should not be sought after or continued to be bred to.

Panda is a new mutation that is dominant which makes it different from the locus usually associated with white markings where solid tends to be dominant over white spotting. It's not complete dominance right through; you could get minor white markings (irsih spotting) from two solid parents but not likely to get extreme white. There are other factors that influence the extent of white and confuse the issue; pigment distribution isn't entirely under genetic control.

The dog in the photo above is extreme white, not piebald.

That definitely is a piebald Husky. He belongs to a husky breeder who only has Piebalds. As I said, I don't know much about this stuff since I breed White Shepherds, but I am very certain that dog is a piebald. The pup, I'm not so sure 'bout her but this was only a suggestion.

that is an example dog people, not the original dog posted.

the original puppy looks really cool!
glad you arent selling her to anyone who will breed the hell out of her to make a quick buck from her coloring!
