I have a question, and I hope I don't hijack your thread, but would you consider Mikasa a bi-color or melanistic black and tan? I'm thinking melanistic black and tan, but there are others who say otherwise when it comes to a dog of her coloring.
Either way, she's a beautiful dog. :)

Because they change so much when they're young, and I'm not always 100%, she's registered as a bi color.

technically "Bi"colour, - because "bi"=two.
Well said, Xeph. Too much rubbish talked about this subject,
really, IMHO. A "bi-colour GSD" has always, for me, been a dog
with a preponderance of black over the amount of tan (or any
shade of brown through silver), generally like a "blanket" marked
B&R. Not too fussed about people's precise definitions of whether
the dog has or hasn't got a tan chest, or a tan 'vent', or tan 'eyebrows'
or black 'pencil marks' up its hocks, and so on. The original Standard
never recognised 'bi' as a separate colour or colour-pattern, so why do
"we" all want to ?

in German, there is no such thing as bicolor, they are black and tan, or black and red, you cannot distinguish between bicolor or not by the color on the pedigree

I especially appreciate the suspension (all 4 ft off the ground) she shows. I had begun to think we had lost that in the breed. For all the gaiting show dogs do, you rarely see a dog with true suspension these days. Course some of us old timers always said that suspension was as much about mind and attitude as structure.
Kudos. Can you please post a link to her pedigree page.
