Only on the panda breeders' website. They along with all the other wierd colors are the stuff of nightmares. It would be very stupid to buy a GSD because of color, or to buy from a breeder who breeds for color.

Well any time you narrow it down to a certain type, before you've even looked at any dogs, you've already weeded out what could've been a more suitable pup.
Showdog people think that way, and breed that way. It's already enough of a challenge to breed for working qualities, and they want both. But when you want both, statistically, one side has to suffer. It's like a see-saw effect.

Not to hijack the thread, but I've never heard of a "panda" GSD. Could you send a link?

I also wanted a sable when I first started looking for a pup. I was offered two pups by my breeder...and I chose the black and tan one because he had better working potential. I haven't regretted my decision, and now I actually like the looks of the black and tan.

The puppy the breeder recommended to me happened to be sable, so that is what I bought. Personally, I like the black and tan coloring better. But I think I may be in a minority as people constantly stop us on our walks to ask about him and tell me they think he is a beautiful dog.
