   JMO:   I believe the West German Conformation German Shepherds were bred 
for a very particular  strong uniformity  of  the breed,  which includes the  
preferred coloration and markings..  They prefer the rich red  markings with a 
very black full saddle or saddle-blanket, covering the  neck and tail  and a 
black mask and black markings on the head and ears... I would think that after 
years of such selective breeding any other colors, would be rare. Some of the 
German Conformation lines did carry Black and  some that were grey in the 
early 50's and 60's and 70's.. They have  recently utilized a grey Male, VA  2 
Timo von Berrekatsen 

 His critique  in the Urma Book 2001...... is interesting in the fact it 
states:    
VA 2 Timo von Berrekasten:
'Particularly well-pigmented, very strongly masculine and especially 
expressive grey dog, substantial and strong. He has a high wither and straight 
back, 
good length and angle of croup. Very correct fore and hind angulation and 
balanced brisket proportions..Correct coming and going,and with a well 
maintained 
center of balance he develops a powerful gait with effective hindthrust and 
free front reach. This grey dog is distinguished  because of his harmonius body 
 
proportions, his especially good  colouring on the top of his head and dark 
eyes. Expression and masculinity and Presence are above average. 
 As in the previous years the dog was presented  in very good condition and 
convinced again because of his superb presentation and enthusiasm to move. The 
over all Champion at the  VDH-Bundessieger Show for all breeds.. was again in 
position to present a  convincing progeny group. Particularly noteworthy  is 
the fact that 15  progeny could be exhibited in the Open Classes. This raises 
the expectation that Timo will decisively contribute to the establishment  of 
the grey colour within our Breed. '

 I quoted this as  it explains the dog mentioned, 'Timo' also fulfills all 
the requirements of conformation and gait,. and progeny quality, to be 
considered  for the introduction of the grey color into the Breed ...
Possibly if another very outstanding individual came along of such a high 
degree of excellence they would consider bringing in  ''Another of a Different 
Color'...JMO barb williams
