I had a really good site about color in GSDs, but I lost it with a virus a few wks ago. I will try to find it again. It commented that sables can be used to strengthen dark pigment, and sable will always produce some sable if it is on both sides, otherwise you will loose it. The idea I got out of it was if you need to improve color, breed to a dark pigmented sable. If it's only on one side, there will be no sable pups in that litter. With that litter, if you stay away from breeding to sables,you won't have any.
Personelly, NOTHING beats a sable for looks. When I talk about getting my WORKING GSD, I have had numerous comments as to why I want one of those ugly ones. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

White is not an accepted AKC color, and since color(lack of it) is the main thing white gsd breeders go for, they loose a lot more in the process.

Not correct. Sable is the dominant allele in GSDs, so as long as one parent is sable, there will be some sable pups in the litter (statistically speaking). That website was trying to say that if you bred to a sable and chose to keep a black and tan pup out of the litter, THAT pup wouldn't produce sables (the breeder isn't "stuck" with sable) unless bred to a sable.

Thanks for the correction. I shouldn't have said "You will loose it" just that it wouldn't appear again if you didn't breed back to another dog with sable lines. The connection between my brain and the keyboard often shorts out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
