Well, I have seen white on GSD's, but not that much. There is the white spotting gene, that can cause a white paw or a small blaze on the chest. Do you have more pictures of him?
By the way, he is sure cute!!!!

I had a gray sable GSD, my Mercedes (Meri), actually I called her coloring a silver sable because it was much lighter than the grays you see. She looked exactly like her sire, same coloring and markings and she had white on her neck "collar" underneath her muzzle, white just above her front legs across her chest, and white on her belly....splashes of white. Not desirable as far as the breed standard but you couldn't ask for a more desirable dog. She was my everything when I was a kid and I was hers.
Sometimes you'll see splashes of white on a GSD, but FWIW it's a disqualifier in a show ring. But I don't particularly care what they do in show rings.
Sandy, I feel the some way that you do about showing. I will neve show him. I did know that about white when I got him but I did not care. He's great! and cause of the white, I got a great price for him. I just want him to be a wonderful dog for my family and I, and he's just that.
Yeah, yeah.
I concur, white spotting doesn't really mean much to me way or the other as far as show standards go.
I've met GSD's with their tan coloring so pale in spots it is almost white, but honestly I've never seen or met a GSD that had any mixing, or spotting of white.
Just goes to show, one learns something new every day.

Sometime soon I'll scan some photos of Meri so you can see her coat. She also had tan in her, which will be hard to see because most of the photos were in black and white (not cause I'm THAT old, but cause it was cheaper than color at the time - which I guess is still giving away my age ). I do have a couple of color pics of her that I'll scan as well.
Edited to add: just remember, color photos back then weren't like the color photos of today. My disclaimer

hahahahaha I haven't a clue what it was called, I was that young . The pictures were taken mostly by me on my Mom's old German camera, the ones that had the leather accordion type extension from the body to the lens. Although to be fair to me, I know that camera was older than me at the time - hahaha!
But now I'm going to be singing Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" all day. Thank you, Randy, for that
