Look at the under hairs in neck they are tan or red and all thru legs too appear the double colored hairs..too much red on face
the gsd is a dark black tan/ feet not able to see any thing between or on either front feet????to denote a required marking of black on toes or feet?
Bi may not have any hints of tan or red on nose or face except a dash or dot over eyes..
Penciling on toes or between but if Tan is in face or anywhere else it is not a Bi...
Visit MelloDee at Germelhaus website/facebook and see Cuzko and his brother Chase..
Those are true Bi. colored Males from MelloDees C litter
her facebook has both dogs pics also
Will find the link and post it later...I am awaiting news on Moore Okla where my deceased husbands family is so I am up and awaiting something good not aweful..
Will post pic in a few.

Yes, those are bicolors. As you stated, tan on face except eye brows, tan behind ears...not a bicolor.

Sable is what collies also come in, the sable people call on GSDs is actually agouti.
The agouti gene consists of
Ay - sable
aw - agouti
at - tan points
a- recessive black.
Saddle pattern dogs are believed to have the gene "tan points" but the points has been modified by an unknown gene so the tan points spreads up, that can form a saddle, in some dogs the saddle can be so faint the tan undercolor shows through, making a "bitch stripe".
"Melanistic black tan" are just pointed dogs with their points spread up slightly, making a faded effect on the legs.
Bi-color dogs are tan pointed dog (like dobermanns), a GSD without any tan on the face has just the tan covered up with a mask, some masks on dogs are bigger than others, tan points can also become very faded so the chest spots are hard to see.
So technically if the theory is true every GSD that has saddle pattern/just minimal color on legs etc are bi-color aka tan points, saddle and creeping tan dogs are born with the usual tan point pattern but the eumelanin retreats as the dog ages.

Melanism IS a legitimate term used in Molecular Genetics. Recessive variants of agouti cause melanism, which is also induced by dominant mutations in MC1R.
