hello everyone
I spoke too one the other day and he told me that he believes that collor and temperement in dogs can go hand in hand for many breeds
not saying this is always the case but have anyone noticed any kind of traits in a certain collor???
someone told me that black gsd seems hysterical, dont know if that is the case
I know that many don't believe that collor of the dog, could have anything to do with the temperement of the dog
I do myself believe this very much that collor and temperament can go hand in hand

If you truly believe that you need to come to America where there are no requirements/prerequisites for breeding.

Yeah black dogs are so hysterical that I find myself laughing all the time. So what color makes you sad? I mean come on, if one makes you laugh, then one must make you sad--you could breed them and perhaps balance it out. That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard......................Oh and a total new one for me...............

No colour has no effect on the working trait!

It has zero.. none.. nada.. zilch.. diddly sqaut dry hump link to color.
The issue is that when there are lines that have the genetic disposition to work they become popular and you see that being used across many breedings. I've seen GSD's that a casual observer would call "show bred" AKA "classic black and tan saddle" rip ass as hard as some of the more solid black and sable lines. The lines have to have the genetic makeup for what you are after. Temperment and Color IMHO are not related and just to be honest I would breed for temperment over color.
What you get is what you have if you have done the work prior to the breeding to verify those lines.

Oh, and you should watch your spelling - i tuned into this thread thinking it was going to
be about the merits of various sorts of COLLARS for working dogs ...

Myret, who are all these 'someones' you are suddenly getting weird information from ?

Honestly, I had heard that a while back as well, something about lighter eyes indicating better working quality... my personal experience though
has told me this is BS.... My best all around working dog at the time is all black with dark eyes.. highest drive is a red sable with dark eyes and
second highest is her mother, a red sable with dark eyes.

Yes, i have heard that too. Such as the darker colors are more intense. Also something about reverse mask and long coats being a touch more laid back but more aggressive also when working. Just rumors so far cause i doubt anyone did a study on it. Might be true, might not. I wouldnt use it as a criteria to buy a dog or pup though.
