I'm sorry, but I don't understand your answer.
First, who is "they?" Second, according to the way you wrote this, different
gradations of white will have different masking abilities. Please elaborate.
I'm kind of dense at times. <G>

a white GSD to a GSD you get a faded color of the GSD. They are no longer the
rich black and tan, sable, etc but faded in color, I have owned them so know. "
I've observed this as well. If the true color of a white dog is simply masked,
then why, when a white is bred to a dog of standard color,do you get faded
colors, including faded silver. Could someone please explain to me why this
fading often occurs? Does this mean that whites tend to carry the dilution
gene as well as the masking gene?
Also, can anyone explain to me why whites, in general, aren't totally white?
Did the masking gene forget to mask some of the white's true color? Seriously,
what's up with that? Is there a "buff" or "cream" gene?
I would really appreciate answers.
