Quite a few years ago I was asked to take a look at a dog someone in this area had just purchased from a rather well-known breeder...the purchaser is now also a judge, but wasn't then. The dog was almost all black, and all I could see for the first few minutes was a pair of bright yellow eyes...big, round, and decidedly yellow.. . As it happens, the breeder had shipped two dogs to this person and told her to pick one and send the other back. I didn't believe any breeder would do such a thing...but really, all I could think of was "WTH did the OTHER one look like?" Then, thinking I'd have a cigarette, I took out my lighter -- and when I flicked it, it didn't light...but the dog completely freaked out. It took two people to get the dog back into the new owner's car........ None of this has any bearing on anything, certainly not on coats...but those eyes would have looked awful on any Shepherd, let alone one that was almost totally black..I'll never forget it.
