Lack of pigment in show line GSD? - Page 2

Thanks, Poseidon! She was a real brat at that age, and took full advantage of the fact an adult dog would never deliberately hurt a puppy. When they'd had enough, and gave a really serious bark or growl to warn her, she'd bark right back at them!

Sunsilver,

Looks like everything faded on that girl except for the white toes!

Aside from that, she looks very sweet.  I really think that the GSD is a magnificent breed.  Simply stunning.

That young male pup pictured about is not a bad looking dog to me, as far as his structure, but I don't care for that head...It looks...heavy...to me.  Like a Malamute, or something.  Doesn't look right to me.  Otherwise, though, not bad at all, except maybe a bit short in the body length?

Crys

Ya, I meant white on the feet, at least of dogs I've seen where folk say the white has disappeared.  It hasn't, it just isn't as noticeable.

That pup in the picture is quite rich in colour.  It would be interesting to see how it matures.  Those feet are going to stand out like a sore thumb if he stays red.

Both my dogs have white on their chest, the sable, (quite a bit) and the black, now just a few hairs.  He had a spot as a pup.  Both still have excellent pigment.
