Maskless GSD by ZeusOwner on 09 March 2012 - 20:52 |
Can someone please provide more information on Maskless or Reverse Mask GSD's? I've had my Zeus for almost 2 years now and always wondered why he looked so different? ( I'm NOT complaining I think he's a magnificent dog and I wouldn't change a thing about him, but I've never seen another quite like him aside from his dad)   |

| The 1st 2 photos look as if he is not pure GSD, but the last one does (other than his color). If you are certain he is pure, then it is just his genetic make-up. But indeed, he is a handsome feller. Brandi and Dugan v. Eichenluft |

| I agree first picture doesnt look full blooded - second he does. Is he registered? If so, then if you know some of his heritage that let you know why he has no mask............ |

| The puppy pic looks like husky cross. The other two look pure, but lack pigmentation. Possibly white dogs in his pedigree? |

I have a 4 yr old spayed female, purebred, AKC registered, DNA tested gsd. Her father was a solid white gsd and her mother black/tan WL gsd. She is my smartest gsd and the most protective. She is my "soul dog." Here is a picture of her:.jpg) |

| She Is very pretty! She has the face mask and looks of a wolf hybrid. Maybe she is a Czech Wolfdog?;-) |

| Baron von Der Krone Sieger 1908 Luchs vom Kalsmunt Wetzlar reverse masks are a throwback ..... used to be completely acceptable. |

| Yes and Baron had white behind him on sire side. |

| Joanro, she is a purebred gsd. People sometimes ask us if she is part coyote. Her eyes are what catches most people's attention--looks like she is wearing eyeliner. : ) |

| I saw that you had her DNA'd. I was sort of joking, because I really don't believe that DNA is 100% accurate when ID ing lineage. So, Not doubting you. If you saw her next to a hybrid, you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart. |

Here is a dog I consider "reverse mask." He does not look like the ones previously posted though. The dogs I have noticed that have this, come from Ben z Bolfu or Ingo Rudingen. ---Mary |

I call that racoon eyes. Like these dog:  |

 this is what I believe to be a reverse mask..... |

same dog as above: ( I have called "reverse-mask") What I consider "racoon eyes"  Probably genetically the same I guess.... just differing in amount of black. The first dog just has black "lipliner" and darker areas up the muzzle and around the nose. Where the second dog just has the red/tan around the eyes, but mostly a black muzzle. I have never seen one I knew to be pure bred that is totally lacking a mask, and also has such light highlights as the dogs posted originally. Interesting. |
