Yes, you did. And, no, I am not the least bit confused. I just made two comments. One of which was in direct response to your comment, "you always get a White Shepherd not a litter of off-white and faded color GSD." Didn't mean to confuse you with two comments! Sorry. I was just stating that White GSD's do not cause color to fade when bred to colored dogs! I have seen white parented dogs with better color and pigment than my dogs had/have.If I confused you, I sure am sorry!

I did not say that White was a faded color it is a recessive allele, only mentioned had experience with White Shepherd being bred to Standard color GSDhaving off white or faded color puppies.
