The Popularity Of Bi Color German Shepherd
A Solid Black German Shepherd usually is considered to be a premium breed and so a solid gene/color combo is extremely suitable for the adopting parent. Although this color/pattern isn’t as popular as white or sable, an original Solid Black German Shepherd can still be quite pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, this color is still not that common as white or sable, so seem to be a rarity to find. Seemingly, however, black-colored German Shepherds are still pretty striking, just not that common.
The Blue. This is the most widely used gene/color combination. Blue dogs (usually British Shorthair and Standard Schnauzer) were thought to have been developed when crossing a Black German Shepherd with a Chinese Water-Dog. Since the original Blue has turned out to be a pretty much non-existing dog, this theory has been discarded. Any mix of these colors will still have the standard Poodle characteristics such as short hair, square ears, and a sweet disposition.
Blue German Shepherds and White.
This is the closest we can get to a standard German Shepherd mix. However, Blue and White mix dogs are more difficult to find in private breeding programs than purebred German Shepherd dogs. These dogs require the same things as any other mix, namely good temperament, and conformation. This may be because the purebred German Shepherd Dogs that are used to make Blue and White mix dogs are very often only half-blooded.
Mixed Blue and White.
Most Blue German Shepherds and White German Shepherd’s mix some amount of other colors into the mix. Some of the most popular ones are Ice, amber, fawn, chocolate, lilac, red, sienna, taupe and yellow. If you want to make a Blue German Shepherd mix but are not sure of what combination to use, it is usually safe to use one of the above colors.
Bi-color German Shepherds.
It is possible to get a blue and a white German Shepherd mix, but this mixture is very difficult to find. Most Blue German Shepherds and White German Shepherds mix a fair amount of other colors into their creation, most commonly white and tan. If you do happen to come across a blue and white German Shepherd mix, it is likely to be a very rare occurrence. In general, you are much better off selecting another purebred German Shepherd over a mixed breed German Shepherd.
Solid White German Shepherd’s.
The German Shepherd dog breed is often referred to as “White Shepherds” or “solid coated German Shepherds”. These dogs have all of the markings of the purebred German Shepherd, but they have an extra coat of hair that does not reflect any of the breed’s color, and they have a white mark in the center of their eyes. These dogs tend to be very affectionate, good with children, and great companions.
Multi-color German Shepherd’s.
German Shepherd mixes can be found in all colors of the rainbow. Some mix the pelt of two different German Shepherd dogs, and these dogs often have additional markings on the rest of their bodies. Multi-color German Shepherd mixes very well with other multi-color dogs, such as those with red coats, and these dogs also tend to be very friendly and good with children.
Black German Shepherd’s.
Black German Shepherds were originally bred to protect the people of Germany, which explains why the breed’s origins are quite secluded. Today these dogs are still raised in the same way as the original German Shepherd, and they are excellent watchdogs. They mix very well with black and brown mixes, but their temperament is a lot different than purebreds with darker coats. They will not mix as readily as purebreds with lighter-colored coats. The majority of black German Shepherd’s mix only has a few distinct colors, such as black, tan, silver, or gold, and some have some white markings along with their black coat.
