GSD's run the gambit of all black, black and tan, black, red and tan, dark sables, blonde sables, silver and white. So there is a large latitude to what markings can be used. I have photos of german shepherds used during the war that show a large variety (save white which is a relatively new "designer" mutation and not recognized by anyone other than wgsd owners.) of markings, including a couple of shots of some floppy eared gsds working a train station with some ss troops.
You can see by this pic that the build and coat variation can really offer some nice possibililties. Black and tan, all black and sable.
All three are working dogs and worth their weight in gold.
There are a few gsd's available with figures these days but I really wish there were more of just the dogs. I have been talking to a sculptor and she is going to make a couple of masters for me so I can cast them in resin. It's something that I think I will make commercially available as soon as we can get a line put together of various poses and components.
So far the only gsd's I know are Tamiyas field briefing set, Dragon's fieldgendarme and Takahashi Modeling stug crewmember and dog. I'm hoping to give the world something more. Cause you can never have too many German Sherpherds....
