Black and Tan and Black and Red German Shepherd dogs

German Shepherds come in three distinct colors the most common being the black and tan, sometimes also called a red/black combination. The Black and Tan German Shepherds should have a black face with black marking on the body as well. The black on the body can look similar to a saddle and is often referred to as a saddle or blanket. Both the Black and Tan or the Red and Black will have black masks and black body markings.
