There you go. You should ask the other white GSD folk on this list as they would know better than me. They will most likely have seen and known many more white=20 GSDs than I have. But I believe it is considered fairly common to find stray black or other color hairs growing on the bodies of otherwise pure white GSDs. Not every "expert" knows everything. Someone I used to chat with on USENET used to say that genetics is doG's little joke on us all.
