Rare german shepherd colors

Isabella Colored German Shepherd

How neat,.. I had no idea how many different color coats the GSD had. Educational. Hmm, go figure, I looked at the panda one and thought, oh that's gotta be rare, I've never seen any of those.

What is a blue German Shepherd? A blue GSD has unusual blue/grey colors and light-colored eyes due to a recessive gene that dilutes the dog's normal colors.

Seeing the name Isabella most likely conjures images of beauty, royalty, and romance. I always picture medieval Spanish castles and long flowing Princess gowns. Have you ever seen Isabella and German Shepherd together in the same sentence? When I first saw the term Isabella German Shepherd, I glossed over it as a term for a specialized kennel or an expensive type of GSD.
