but how do you know somewhere in the slovakian mountains or rural czech there is not still the brindle bloodline its just that most people who know about them dont have pc's,tv's, brick houses etc just huts and living off the land sort of thing and use the dogs to herd what ever they need herding JMO like ..my point is non of us really know if they do come in brindle still

the FCI (and AKC, and SV, and possibly every other written breed standard for GSD?) does not list brindle as an accepted color. This means it is not an accepted color, for the purposes of registration. I would venture to guess that means brindle is no longer an accepted color for the GSD breed according to written standards.

So when all is said and done,,, it doesn't prove that a purebred brindle doesn't exsist. It just means that the brindle color is not an accepted as a registerable color....However, it is very possible the brindle GSD does exsist....
JUST MY OPINION!!

I would love to see brindle in the purebred GSD - I love brindle. But if I did see it, I'd have to also see extensive documantation of that dog and the parents to believe it was purebred.

Your opinion is that there is no proof that brindle GSDs don't exist..........Okay, good to know.

I think he was mentioned a page or two back, when a son of his was commented on.
Recently, I decided I would like to breed to a particular black & tan a year or so from now, and it was tenatively agreed upon. Funny I didn't think of it when this thread began.
I'm thinking the availability of bicolor dogs isn't much higher, is it?

Thats right sueincc.... I am not going to say they definitely don't exsist or they definitely do exsist.. I don't have proof to that.. But I do believe there is the possibly they do exsist and no one has bragged about it or posted it up to be debated or for this forum to argue over. I think thats simple enough to understand...

I must be confused. How many continuous lines of solid black dogs could brindle have ran through in the last 80 years for someone NOT to be aware of it? And, that's assuming those black dog's produced black pups only, to conceal the brindle phenotype. I would think the odds are higher of an isolated re-occurance of the mutation to spontaneously appear from non-carrying parents.
