Solid Black German
Shepherds
No good dog is a bad color
~Max von Stephanitz - Founder of the German Shepherd Breed
Black German Shepherd Dogs
Although they appear to be one color, solid black German Shepherds
typically have a few tan hairs between their toes or under their tail.
Healthy and well groomed black German Shepherd dogs have a shiny coat
earning them the nickname, "Lacquer Blacks."
Not as common
as the black and tan or sable colored shepherds, a black german
shepherd dog is a striking sight.
While white German Shepherds are
considered a faulty color by the AKC, both black and white shepherds
are produced by a recessive gene.
This can lie dormant for generations. Both the sire and
dam must be
carriers of the gene in order to produce black german shepherd puppies.
Do not use coat color as the primary reason in choosing
your dog.
Health and temperament are much more important.
