Wm Goldbecker and Ernest H. Hart, Copywright 1967 PIGMENT The German Shepherd Dog differs widely in color and all colors are permissible. Generally speaking, strong rich colors are to be preferred, with definite pigmentation and without appearance of a washed-out color. White dogs are not desirable, and are to be disqualified if showing albino characteristics.
