The black German shepherd is one of the many different coat colors and patterns that are associated with the German shepherd breed. The black German shepherd is not a separate dog breed from the German shepherd breed like the white German shepherd which is recognized as a separate dog breed by some kennel clubs.

According to the SV (society for German shepherd dogs and in German called: Verein für deutsche Schäferhunde) dog club in Germany which was founded by Max von Stephanitz (the German shepherd breed creator):

“The color of the GSD is independent and unimportant and has no effect on the character of the dog or on it fitness or robustness for work and should therefore be a secondary consideration.”

Of all the qualities that should be sought in a GSD, the coat color should bring up the rear while other factors such as health, gait, temperament, pedigree or bloodlines etc are much more important and these should be the paramount factors to consider when it comes to making a decision on a particular GSD.

Only when these factors have been thoroughly checked should good pigment be sought after. There are no unique health, temperament or genetic problems associated with the black German shepherd based solely on its black color.
