Many times, I've seen Black & Tan Coonhounds listed as GSD's!  All because
of the coloring - black with tan points.  At times, that seems to be the 
only criteria for listing a dog as a Shepherd.

I have great compassion for all these dogs,,,,but....I find less than 20% of
all the GSD\s listed as pure bred to actually be GSD's .  I donate for every
good cause and have donated $$$$ to LHSH.  But, as an avid browser of
perfinder.com please keep your focus and credibility.  There are NOT OVER
7000 PURE BRED GSDs in shelters waiting for homes.  Please don't turn into
an ARista.  We are counting on you for truthful accurate info.  A GSD/pit
bull mix while sad is not the responsibility of responsible breeders.
