All them but no Bi-colour??? They've lost the plot now!
Edit:
Ah I think I've found the Bi-colours they are now to be refered to as sables....mmmm From the KC breed standard:
"All black, all grey, with lighter or brown markings referred to as Sables."
Laughable...totally!

Surely Bi-colour is black and tan?

Bi colour is most prob.the black tan and gold.why cant sables just be classed as sables instead of all these various colour combos.blue sables and liver sables should just be reg,d.as a non standard colour.Carole S.

A black and tan is a black and Tan typically as seen in saddles as
A Bi-colour is a Black dog with Tan points Typically at
I find it ludicrus that a colour/pattern that has been in the breed since the year dot, should be removed and replaced by a generalisation, when all the above crap has been added. Making the UK's breed standard a laughing stock!

It always has been, Ambi... and I agree, Bi-colour should be on the list.
by Doppelganger on 18 June 2010 - 12:06
But how would anyone know what colour a bi-colour is? Yes, I know people in the breed would know but a newcomer might never have seen or heard of it. They could then register say a black and white as a bi-colour, as to most people this would mean 'two colour'.
If there are any required colours not on the list then the Breed Council should contact the KC to request them to be included. This is what has happened with Border Collies.

Fair point... tho' one would hope that someone with such limited knowledge would not be breeding... do we have black and white Shepherds? God help us! All the more reason for introducing mandatory criteria.

Missbeeb said it better than I would so I'll leave it at that.

This refers specifically to colors. The bi-colour is included in the black & gold/tan/silver etc. It references the colour of the coat, not the pattern. Theoretically the standard saddle pattern is a bi-color. Coat 'patterns' (how the color is distributed) is not a reference point in this context. So in terms of color alone, the above list is actually more accurate, since a bi colour can be construed as any combination of two colors, as other poster stated.

unfortunately there are black & whites 'pandas'. The KC have suggested i speak to a breed council member, having not being able to satisfy a good reason from them, for not registering this integral part of GSD heritage, gladly off i go.
