EH??? This is not true. A true bi color does not have a gray undercoat.
A true bi color is just that. BI......TWO ...colors. BLACK.....with some
tan "sharp" cut off markings. NO fading
or blending into colors. As Ed says....much like a Dobie or Rottie.
My bi colors ( G.V. BOSS included ) was solid black with NO markings anywhere
except under the tail and
partially up his legs. Have had a couple with some gray undercoat and I
personally do not consider them a
true bi color as there is also often some other tiny shading or blending of
colors on the neck, chest, belly.....etc.
At first glance they give you the 'impression' of being a bi-color....but
truly are not.
G.V. BONO was called a Bi Color by many....but having bred him.......in my
opinion he was not a true bi color.
BONO was ( IMO ) a very dark blanket black and tan that carried the black
factor.
I don't know that he ever produced any bi colors either??? Edie???

A true bi-color will have a gray undercoat. But out of all the bi-colors that
I have had or have now only one had a gray undercoat. So...to me a bi-color is
an all black dog with tan legs and feet, always black on the hocks and usually
a solid black head but there can be a little tan on the head but not much.
Sometimes there will be white on the chest also. Tanya......I will e-mail you
privately a picture of Harley and Missy. Harley was the blackest bi-color I
have ever owned. Both Harley and Missy has black on their toes. I love black
toes, lol. Amy Greenhut

you'll get lots of different views on what folks believe a Bi-color
is...lol...Bi-colors are my favorite of all the color
patterns...( I don't own one, go figure)...my view is that� a Bi-color
German Shepherd Dog is a�dog with the
basic "pattern" of a Dobe or Rott....and he must have BLACK on
the�hocks...anything short of this to�me is a black and tan with a
blanket...many will disagree...and I may even be wrong, but I don't think
so...lol...FB

I was having a discussion with someone about what exactly is a bi color.
Ok, the dog is mostly black,
has a bit of tan on the cheeks, tan on the lower part of the legs but black
head.� I was told that a true
bi color had a grey undercoat.� Is that true?� Or is there something
other I need to be looking for???
The reason is I have a puppy that I personally feel is a very, dark black/tan
but someone else says
bi.� Help,
Tanya D'Armand
