I rather feel that it may be of some concern. Fifty or so years ago, a breeder was horrified if a pup had any white at all. Today we see dogs in the ring with huge white splashes across their chests and many with white feet. It may not be too far in the future that that white chest goes all the way around to become a collar and the white feet go up to white socks, then a white blaze. There is a great article in this month's Boxer Ring magazine about this "creeping white" and its gene heredity factors. In Boxers it is a DQ to exceed 1/3 white so they are quite particular about breeding away from the white issue. This is also true in Pembroke Corgis. Carolyn P.S. Don't know why my posts have these wretched spaces. I am not writing them that way. Any ideas ?

To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Monday, May 24, 2010, 1:42 PM I've only seen one, in the performance ring, years ago. He was.....different. Judging by how many people have never seen them, I don't think this specific color pattern is something to be worried about.
