| Malamutes can come in solid white or a slate blue with white markings. The white is unusual, the blue & white are rare but gorgeous- they are both perfectly acceptable. Mals can also be red or tri-color. I am in love with a Champion red male named F-red. For the life of me, I can't find photos of blue, though I've seen them in books. Mals can be found with blue eyes- a disqualification. If I've been told correctly, this didn't show up until the 1960's and any blue eyed Mal can be traced back to one kennel that also raised Siberians. It would be easy to have an accidental cross and unknowingly mis-register. There are also wooly Malamutes- instead of the stand-off coat, theirs is more like a collie. Long and flowing. Disqualification for the show ring. The coat is not easy to groom and doesn't repel water and snow as well.

| Yep- I've seen the unusual Rotties. They sure do look different! Have you seen a white one?

 I saw a red (liver) GSD once. her coat wasn't as long as this one. It's rather striking. They also come in solid blue. Or red (liver) and tan, blue and tan. It's different.

| Rottweiler disqualifications include a long coat and any base color other than black or the absence of all markings... I'm not even going to get into faults, serious or otherwise. It happens, but shouldn't.

Disqualifications in any breed are written into the standards for a reason- and should never be viewed as desirable. Not to say a dog accidentally produced can't be a great dog, just not a good example of the breed. I think it's interesting that these "oddities" pop up- not that they should ever be encouraged. Frankly, it's difficult to recognize some of them as members of their breed. If a purebred long haired Rottie, from a reputable breeder ever ended up in the shelter, I would almost guarrantee it would be labeled as a mix. As with many of the other unusual colors, markings and coats. They are abberations, and, yes- they often come with other faults that may or may not meet the eye.

Wow. I found this topic quite interesting. I didn't know about some of these.
