Normal color or white German Shepherd

[RoyalGamer1]

I’m getting a German Shepherd and they have two female a white and normal colored one. My friend I live with wants the white I want the colored 

 

(we’re both paying for it)

You can’t go wrong, either way you get a great dog! But mine might disown me if I didn’t say black & tan.

When I was a kid we had a white cat. He always had stains on his fur, mostly oil from doing whatever it is cats do when they are under cars, which would remain until he moulted, after which he wound quickly acquire new ones. White pets always look grubby.

 

Grubbiness aside I'd say it best to buy on temperament, rather than appearance.

Having a white cat right now, means it looks more like a grey cat.

 

She constantly walks under cars, with oil all over her fur, and having to wash her is a pain, seeing as she hates water.

 

As for your German Shepherd, pick the dog that stands out to you and how it reacts to you.

 

You want a dog that will treat you nice, not just the looks.

yes I agree, he looks mean and sounds mean to strangers  but is actually super friendly goofy around me and my friends/fam. Really happy with him, purebred from a local breeder.

We had a white one when I was little he was the best

Until they start getting the problems pure breeds & larger dogs in general get like hip dysplasia & other arthritic problems. I know If my dog was a pure Kelpie she would most likely end up with it, but since she's crossed with a Border Collie it's less likely, not that it can't happen especially given their nature of being a herding dog & it isn't uncommon for them to do a lot of sharp turning which can accelerate such problems.

 

I get why people want pure breed dogs & personally i'd go for one if I could, but usually you get a lot less health issues with cross breeds.

Yeah well purebreds sell for a hell of a lot more. I make a dollar off everything I can and that’s why I only work 3 days a week and have more cash then I need to live

I used to have a normal coloured one, all of them are really cute. I would certainly pick a tan-black coloured puppy, but you cannot make a wrong decision regarding this!
