rare german shepherd colors
can german shepherds have bushy curled up tails?

our german shepherd cross is now 10 months but as he is getting older and looking at 2 other dogs from the litter growing up they are looking so much like full german shepherds now,george is the only one who is a sandy colour,he was pure white when he was born but is now apparently the colour of a silver back german shepherd,he has a bushy tail that curls up and is long haired..a breeder of 35 years stopped me in a dog store and asked me where i got my dog from as for a german shepherd he is a very rare colour,i told her he was a GS cross but she was 100% sure he wasn’t a cross..the father to us was unknown,the mum a thoroughbred GS..it doesn’t matter what he is we love him all the same it would just be nice to know to know his breed history..

ONLY major/disqualified FAULTY ones!

The person you talked w/is a complete idiot!
You have a MUTT/MONGREL…period!

Dog Breeds – 6 Rare Precious Breed On Hold!

Dogs come in many shapes and sizes. They are one of the varied species on the planet. All these different kinds of dog originated from the wolf. It is almost impossible to believe it but the Pekinese is more closely related to the wolf than is the German Shepherd.

This great variety of dogs results from selective breeding over millenia. For centuries human beings have been chosing those characteristics in dogs that they found desirable for some reason. Dogs have been selected for their small size so that they fit down badger hole or make lap dogs. They have been selected for their large size so that they can act as guard dogs and shepherd dogs. They have been selected for thick coats in cold climates or to be almost hairless.

The dog is one of the oldest of domesticated animals and over the many centuries that they have lived and worked with humans they have played many roles. Consequently, there are innumerable breeds of dog. They have been bred to meet the requirements of different occupations and to meet the aesthetic standards of different societies.

Often toy breeds have been developed from working dogs. The Affenpinscher is an example of this. It is a toy version of the pinscher and schnauzer family. It makes a good family pet because of its affectionate nature. This is a highly intelligent dog that is highly trainable. The coat is wiry and ususally dark in color.

The Anatolian Shepherd is less well known than the familar German Shepherd. But its strong build and courageous nature makes it an ideal security or hunting dog.

The Basenji or African Hunting Dog is a silent dog. It has been bred to have no bark so that it does not disturb game. It is not a particularly affectionate animal but will become accustomed to people if handled from an early age.

A very different kind of dog is the Bouvier des Flandres. This dog was bred as a herd dog in France. It looks somewhat like a terrier. But it has a placed nature. The coat is rough and usually dark in color. They are often used in police work or as a guide dog for the visually impaired. They are intelligent and respond well to training.

The Ovtcharka from Central Asia is a large dog that has been used for herding. It has a fearless nature and is very brave. They ususally have their ears and tails docked when they are puppies.

From Poland comes the Owczarek Nizinny which is a medium sized dog. Its coat is long and often covers its eyes. They make excellent pets but hate to be left alone for long as they are very social.
