The answer of course is very simple...........
A caring responsible person or Breeder never would kill a healthy puppy just
because it is not the perfect color!! It's hard enough to put a puppy down
for
any serious health reason!!
Nor would anyone that truly loves their dog put one down just because it is
getting
old just to "thin out" the dogs THEY have accumulated
There is nothing more deserving of special love and respect and care than
an old dog that has been willing to do whatever asked just for the honor
of being a part of it's owners life and standing by their side!!!!
I love old majestic dogs with their gray grizzled faces and wise knowing eyes.
They KNOW they deserve the best....they've given their all. OLD DOGS RULE!!
There is nothing more charming than ANY happy healthy puppy all excited
about life and all there is to do and learn!

These are my thoughts exactly! I can understand putting down a puppy
with serious, life compromising conditions; but never a healthy puppy.
If you can't get your normal price, place it on a S/N contract with
someone who can love and care for it, but maybe not afford your
normal prices - for free if necessary. When we used to think some
off colors carried a fatal gene, I can understand not wanting to place
them - but now we know that isn't true. Why deny the puppy a chance
at a good life in a loving home, and someone the chance to enjoy it's
companionship?

I am totally appalled...in heaven they can run free??? On this very earth
they can "run free", and have a better life than any heaven without someone
to love them. If I had white or pinto puppies, I would admire them greatly,
have them neutered, find great homes, sell them for a fortune, and call it
good.
Why on earth would anyone kill a healthy puppy? I am totally stunned by
this post, and wonder why some people are in dogs at all. A dog is a dog...a
German shepherd is a dog first. Shaking my head, Syd

The practice of culling imperfect is how this breed was started by von
Stephanitz. I recall reading several
times many years ago that he held the breed to a high standard and the breed
wardens of today in
Germany are the legacy of the breed's foundation.
But we live in the US and we can choose to cull or not to cull. I do not go
nuts when a newborn does not
come up quickly. But I had the patience to wait for Sissy to learn to walk
when I know some were thinking
she needed to be put down.
She does just fine in her own slow thinking way. But she will always be my
Sissy dog.
And Bertha looked deformed for a long time. He hip structure was higher on
one side than the other,
her ribs were flat on one side and barrelled on the other. Now she looks
like great foundation stock
for a kennel.
Bucko always looked like he would rule the world. But his pasturns never
went up.
The diagnoses of lupus explained that. He is stable. sheila
