What causes a liver colored German Shepherd? The liver color arises from a mutation in the B locus gene that affects the production of black pigment in the dog’s coat. When a puppy inherits the mutated gene from both parents, it will display the liver hue instead of the typical black pigment. Apr 19, 2023
Lakeside Shepherds has some of the most unique German Shepherds that not only conform to Breed Standards but also offers a broad selection of colors.
Like Max Von Stephanitz, GSD breed founder, said: “No good dog is a bad color.”
Max’s vision was of a well built, mentally sound, family companion. While the breed was created to be a farm hand (herding dog) it also has the expectations of being the ultimate family/farm hand with patience, love and understanding of keeping the other farm animals safe and playing with the children. Max’s original book “German Shepherd in Word and Picture” has many photo’s of GSD playing with children, sharing their food with baby chicks, playing ring around a posy with the children, hanging out with baby lambs; basically the farmers right hand as they also kept the children safe and the farm animals safe from predators. They take their job seriously and love with their whole hearts. They want and need to be part of the family.
