Thank you Borzoimom. There is no way I could have Pandas. As anyone with any knowledge of GSD genetics would know. Since I am only breeding Sheena to another White Shepherd(a very stunning male with great credentials) all they will have is White Shepherds. They can not produce any other color. If I was to breed Sheena to a Black GSD or a Black and tan GSD, that have no white in their lines, the only colors they would produce is colored GSDs. Not Panda's. If I bred Sheena to a Black GSD or a Black and tan GSD that had a white GSD in their lines then the result would be 50% colored puppies and the other 50% of the puppies would be white. Agian NO PANDA's. If anyone was to look at the pedigree of the first Panda Shepherd there is in fact NO White GSDs in the pedigree at all. All were colored GSD's. So the only way right now to produce Panda's is to in fact breed to a Panda Shepherd. And even then there is no garentee that any of the pups would be born with the Panda coloration. They could all just be carriers instead.

For people that have no clue about colored genetics about GSDs(as I didn't before I planned to get into breeding) there has been the misguided notion that breeding whites to colored shepherds was the cause for the Panda mutation. This rumour is of course false and can be proved easily by anyone checking out the pedigrees of the first Panda Shepherds. Whites have been a part fo the GSD since the very beginning and are not the cause of the Panda mutation and can not cause it by breeding a white to a colored. Genetics do not work that way. If people want links ot the Panda Shepherd info and pedigrees I would be very happy to supply them.
