We think that some lighter colors done in some watercolor paints or maybe some colored pencils would look great for this particular one! Regardless of the color of your German Shepherd, your grooming process will be very similar, so don’t think that choosing a specific color will help cut down on shedding!

This is another very striking color, but, like the blue coloration mentioned above, it’s considered a “fault” in terms of breeding standards. If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.This dog is also drawn in a more exaggerated style, and it makes for a really interesting portrayal. Although the AKC says, “most colors are permissible” in its German Shepherd Dog breed standard and that “strong rich colors are preferred,” it also says that “washed-out colors and blues or livers are serious faults. For example, a black and tan German Shepherd will have a black base color gene while a sable one would have a brown base color gene. Under that, they will be some kind of tan color, though the exact shade can vary from a deep brown to a lighter color that is almost silver.

Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.You could even create a background that features some hearts, stars and other cheerful shapes to suit the mood given off by this dog. So, we hope your kids enjoy the time they spend coloring these illustrations as much as our German shepherd will enjoy their company. When we say faulty or unacceptable, this doesn't necessarily mean that the dog isn't purebred, just that it doesn't match the breed standards for show. These pups come from the working lines of GSD’s and the mother will have pure black fur and the father will be of the black and tan color.
