We have been to see pups today and they were quite dark, with a hint of tan coming through but still quite dark, will they lighten or will they stay quite dark.

Most GSD pups will continue to lighten up to about the age of two years,..to a more or lesser degree,.. but is not a fact that all will

This was Sam between the ages of about 11 months and two years

Thank you all, we are going back next week to see them again, would anyone advise long or short coat??

Long or short coat is just personal preference,... in my view long haired dogs are a lot harder to groom, and I also think that shorter haired dogs deal with the cold better than long haired,..their coat is a lot more dense
