Black and Silver Shepherd - Page 1

Has anyone come across someone breeding a line of black and silver German German Shepherds?

I would think that is more American then German or Czech

I could be wrong anyone???

I've only seen them in American lines.  That and black/cream.

Seems like all I have seen have been American.  I do know the Rin Tin Tin lines have silver as the lighter colors showed up better on the black and white television screens.

PS... as a personal preference I have never liked the silver myself...but to each his own....

I believe it's a "dilute" so not something to be bred for (at least in German lines).

there is a kennel who breeds blacks and blk/silvers from am and ger working lines.  they do compete and have had dogs sch. titled. try a search on Valiantdale gsd.  also, I have had blk/silvers born from strong Ger/Belgium working lines.

There is a kennel called Vallahalla--not sure about the spelling.  She is in Tulsa OK and does ScH with her dogs.  She is known for blk/silvers.

Valiante is a town in Oklahoma, wonder if its the same lady....?

I found a link to Valiantdale GSD, but couldn't find one for Vallahalla (or any other similar spelling):
