hello everyone! Im still confused about my pups breed do you think she's a sheperd malinois or what do you think her breed is? It'll be a big help thank you! Shes 20lbs and currently 15weeks old thank you
She could be a Mal, or a Mal cross, as she has the mask - did you get her from a breeder as a pure-bred Mal? She is very sweet, whatever she is.
I did not realise that there are so many different GSD coat colours - thank you for the information - and that is a lovely photograph Vee.
Liver and blue coloured Gsd’s are the result of a recessive gene and has to be carried by both parents. Diluted colors are considered a fault, as is off-standard colors like panda and whites but sadly there are many specialty breeders specifically breeding "rare" (recessive) Gsd’s. Charging ridiculous prices, with a very limited gene pool to work with.
@GsdSlave Pure coincidence, but I have just read an article on the genetics of white spotting in the dog, and at the end there is a reference to Panda GSD's. You will probably already know, but two copies of this KIT gene create an embryonic lethal response, and any embryos will be resorbed. Dog genetics.co.uk/white will probably be enough to find it.
