I had to bet money on it, I'd say he's going to lose his toemarks and tarheel based on his parents likely color genes.

Way too much tan already to be a bicolor. Christine is correct.

I've had a few pups turn out bicolor when I thought they'd be a dark bt--but the sire was a bicolor (dam was dark bt).

Right, Christine...different genetics. I don't see the possibility for bicolor in this pup, at the very least, I don't see the probability.

In all honesty, the color of this puppy does not matter at all. Myself, I don't think he is a true bi-color. I do believe he will be darker than both mom and dad.  I just posted this as I thought it was a good topic and example of what people consider a bi-color to be.

Those pencil toes & tar heels ain't going nowhereShades Smile

This is my Bi-Color Rollie as a pup and then all grown, he had just about the same amount of 
tan/red on him at that age as your pup does......Rollie dad was a sable and mom black & red Teeth Smile

You will notice in the last picture how the tan on his chest disappearedWink Smile

Rollie had less tan on under his throat and across his chest. This pup also seems to have tan coming up the inside of his back legs.

Thats the fun part about puppies. Trying to figure out what color they will be. I find that Bi-colors and sables change the most. Bi-colors have a tendency to be born dark, get lighter than as they get older, they get darker. Same goes for sables. Guess we will just have to wait and see about this one. I have puppies this same color end up being bi-colors and some end up being blk/tan blanket.  So we will see.

Bi-Color. Sorry, but he is solid black with tan points so that is a bi-color. A heavy black blanket colored GSD would have still have tan all under his belly like a normal saddle back would.
