While some German Shepherds can be born black, they are not all born that way.
Here's why:
* German Shepherds come in various coat colors: The German Shepherd breed standard recognizes a variety of colors, including black, black and tan, sable, and gray.
* Puppies often change color: German Shepherd puppies are often born with darker coats that lighten as they age. This means a puppy that is born dark might not stay that way.
So, a black German Shepherd puppy can indeed be born black, but not all German Shepherd puppies are born black.
