| On coat color, ProudShepherdPoppa is completely and utterly correct:-) I was actually handling a huge black and red male for my boss but the dog died. So he was to have me handle another dog for him (which I bought and that dog became my very first schutzhund, the sire to my two current pups:-)) He pulled Zeppe from the truck for the first time. Zeppe was a bicolor. I did NOT like the coloring, I was used to my big black and red boy. Now I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm hooked on the bicolors though the only bicolor I have currently is one of Zeppe's sons. The other son is a red sable. I have since owned another couple of sables and a black and tan. They all become beautiful honestly. Especially when they match your expectations in work. EVERYBODY wants the show dog that can be the wonderful family dog and protector, stand on the podium, and basically just do it all. What I"ve learned in my short time in the breed is it's almost better that if you trust the breeder to pretty much let the breeder pick for you. They will be more likely to match you up with the right personality (IF they're a good breeder which it sounds like this one is) and less likely to choose based on superficial traits like coat color. While it's important that you feel attached to the dog, you'll end up being attached MORE to the right personality for you. The colors always grow on you. I love bicolors because zeppe was one. I didn't choose zeppe because he was a bicolor. |
