Red pigment...... - Page 1

I often see dogs with a very deep red pigmentation.

Or:

1/ The red pigment is in the dogs of the pedigree? Genetic?

2/ Food supplements? Which?

3/ Simple artificial colouring just like women do?? Has to be this way in some show dogs....

What do you think?...or.... Any suggestions for increasing the pigment?

I'm sure its a bit of each dependingon which dog you are referring to.

Oh, and you forgot Photoshop.

Hi Arlette,

You seem to share a fancy like alot of us GSD people to the fabulous Red colour within some dogs coats. I would say that its a Genetic thing and it's all about correct selection of mating in order to get red pigmentation in the coats.

Did you ever get the Bitch you advertised for awhile back ? I noticed as I was on the hunt for a similar bitch at the same time? RED......!

No, did not get this bitch, but just have a nice pup, with, at this time rich red pigment, out of the Ursus-Esko line.

One message, wait and see till she turns out around 18 months of age.

Hi everybody:

To be very clear in this topic I think we must  talk only about the correct ways to get a beatiful red coat because it is absolute immodest to paint a dog for the show.  I am breeding many years for red german shepherds as a goal so I can tell you that this trait comes from genetics and it is not so easy.  You must identify and study the dogs that can transmit this color trait and work only with this type of dogs during many generations. It is obvious that this red dogs chosen for your breeding program must also have other top qualities required as temperament, movement, conformation,etc.

Other detail is that there are several different red types so be aware to use always if possible the same deep red. I have a collection of hair from my past dogs so I can develop the same type and can be aware of the same chosen color.

I have developed a top supplemment which will be introduce soon in the market in different countries. This is a natural pigment  which will  emphasize the color and can be given to your dog with his food. The dog should have a good normal color at least so he can get the best results. If your dog is already red it will look really fantastic. Anybody seriously interested can get in contact with me. 

Have a nice day.

Soli Please,

Selling snake oil is so lame.

A dog is born with it's color and your not going to change it with suppliment's.   It's in the genetic's.

Breeding practice's can change this but at what cost?  There are so many other thing's to be considered beside the color.

I don't consider color dye's increasing anything, only foolish and cheating.

Only consider color after everything else.

Thanks Moon, I was about to say that, but prefer if someone with more experience make comment like that. GSD is a working dog, his health, temper, workability comes first, everything else should be just a plus. Over time I learned that I always look for the most beautiful dog, but once I get it I really don't give a shit how he looks like, and his health, and temper is priority. Just something to consider for future buyers.

feed them carrots

or tomatoes!

Hello two moons:

This is up to you.  If we can use glucosamine and condroitin  for ligaments why not a natural antioxidant which is the base of this product. It is not too serious from your side talking about a product which you dont even have knowledge. I understand you are going by the easy way criticism.   It isnt absolute artificial, harmful, and not hormones either.  Sorry but I  can be open  to a serious conversation only.
