Thanks for the below answer from my good friend Ed Hill.  I see it is time
for the GSD Bi-Color questions.  To save 
Carolyn Martello and or Tedi Ginsburg from having to send their once a year
answers to the question, I copied and
pasted from my web page the answer (again, 12 months later).  Seriously, we
will always get
new members of the list so they need to know these things, so no problem.
One hint: some people
can remember these things better if they draw or write the various
combinations down, such as 
a symbol for Bi-Color and a symbol for Black, next to the below puppy's
name. 


The only colors of German Shepherds are Sable, Black

and Tan, Bi-Color and Black.  Sable is the most dominant 

and Black is the least dominant.  The Sire will have two color 

factors and the Dam will have two color factors.  The puppy 

will get one of its two color factors from the Sire and one from

the Dam.  Thus if a puppy gets a Black color factor from its

Sire and a Bi-Color factor from its Dam, the puppy will be a Bi-Color 

in looks and will have one Bi-Color factor and one Black factor, 

since as stated above, Bi-Color is dominant over Black.

for a shepherd to be a bi-color only one parent MUST carry the gene, but the
other parent must carry a black or a Bi-color gene.....Ed
