Susan,
Have you ever seen the Pandas, I never knew they existed until recently. Weird to think they are GSD <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

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.
I agree.And the sad thing is that on the breeders web site I saw that sells the panda color, has a waiting list for people who want to buy and she sells them for $800.
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.
You can google Panda Shepherds on the net -- they're mis-marked with patches of white (and maybe blue eyes sometimes?) it's a frowned upon color-pattern mutation <:-(

Thanks, I did that. Weird mutation. The only thing I can say to that is...if German Shepherds ain't broke...why fix them? <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'll be plenty happy with my bi-color!
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. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
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.
