Hi all, new to this forum. I'm located in central Ohio. Since this forum is about diversity in GSDs I thought I'd ask what everyone had or what they liked.
I personally only prefer that standard colors in GSDs, the richer the better, black and red, black and gold/rich tan, solid black, red sables, dark sables and black sables and bi-colors. I've had 2 litters of GSD pups, my first one gave me quite a surprise when some of the puppies came out dark chocolate (liver) color. I own both sire and dam, they are both German showlines, dam being a red sable and sire a black/red. I like blues, chocolates and lilac(isabella, lavendar, etc.) in some breeds of dogs, but not my type in the GSD, however I do they they are striking looking. I'm not really fond of solid white in any breed except maybe the sighthound breeds.
As for the coats, for the longest time I was not into longcoats until I actually was given one as a gift, my girl is a thick longstock coat, since then I've really fallen for the longcoats, the more lion-like the better. I do not care for very short coats on Shepherds whatsoever.
I own 5 Shepherds, all pure German showlines, one of them lives with my father. I also love many of the European working lines. I had a wonderful DDR female who was the most willing to please dog, she passed away at 14 yrs old.
I used to be very interested in American lines but was dissapointed by so many in person, for many different reasons, that I really have no interest in them any longer.
So what about you?
