Kate >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I thought that all colors were acceptable except white. Strong colors are preferred, and washed out colors are to be faulted. I didn't mean to argue, so here is the Standard. "The German Shepherd Dog varies in color, and most colors are permissible. Strong rich colors are preferred. Pale, washed-out colors and blues or livers are serious faults. A white dog must be disqualified." It does not say what colors are not permissible, except blues, livers and whites. So, a mixed color, or a new pattern, under our standard, is permissible, I guess. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
