Oh YES --- our own Max instigated these solids and one named ROLAND is pictured in an old GSD book, can't really remember it's name - I'll need to think on this. BUT --- A man in Florida had a kennel years ago that he named - Roland Standard Kennel - as he attempted to pattern a black strain of GSDs after this color. So the first solid black was a German dog incorporated in all the pedigrees --- I'll let you folks know the name of the book when it comes to me but it was years ago.
