The Black and Tans (Paperback) $76.8 This is the story of the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, the most notorious police forces in the history of the British Isles. During the Irish War of Independence (1920-1), the British government recruited thousands of ex-soldiers to serve as constables in the Royal Irish Constabulary, the Black and Tans, while also raising a paramilitary raiding force of ex-officers - the Auxiliary Division. From the summer of 1920 to the summer of 1921, these forces became the focus of bitter controversy. As the struggle for Irish independence intensified, the police responded to ambushes and assassinations by the guerrillas with reprisals and extrajudicial killings. Prisoners and suspects were abused and shot, the homes and shops of their families and supporters were burned, and the British government was accused of imposing a reign of terror on Ireland. Based on extensive archival research, this is the first serious study of the Black and Tans and Auxiliaries and the part they played in the Irish War of Independence. Dr Leeson examines the organization and recruitment of the British police, the social origins of police recruits, and the conditions in which they lived and worked, along with their conduct and misconduct once they joined the force, and their experiences and states of mind. For the first time, it tells the story of the Irish conflict from the police perspective, while casting new light on the British government`s responsibility for reprisals, the problems of using police to combat insurgents, and the causes of atrocities in revolutionary wars.

Do German Shepherds colors change from puppy to adult?

We are getting a German Shepherd and were curious if the color of the puppy will change as i gets older. If a puppy is born mostly black, will it stay black or lighten up to show more of the browns/tans?

A related question was recently asked in http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/GSD_Friendly/message/18575

Basically, a GSD NEVER changes colour, the exception being that between about 2 and 14 weeks the traditional wolf-sables are a dark-honey colour with minimal black anywhere, until the adult coat starts emerging. And this fools unknowledgeable newbies.

But only 2 "colours" are allowed in genuine GSDs:
• Black is compulsory.
• Tan is optional.

- There are recessives that can alter/damage the eumelanin (which should look black) so that it comes out as liver or blue-gray or even Isabella - the "darks" produced by those recessives are banned in genuine GSDs. But whatever "dark" colour the pup had at birth is the colour it will have for life.
- There are modifiers that can alter/damage the phaeomelanin (which should look a rich military-tan) so that it comes out as gold or fawn or cream or even chalky. The rule is that whenever 2 GSDs are otherwise of equal merit, the darker/richer-coloured is to be preferred. But whatever tan the pup had at birth is pretty much the tone of tan it will have for life.
- In addition, there are 2 pairs of recessives that, in combination, prevent the follicles from depositing ANY pigment into the hairs, so that the hairs are transparent and look white. White is banned, although it is tolerated if no more than a discrete chest spot and/or a toe or two (PROVIDED that each toe's nail is the required black).
- If just the e^ e^ pairing is present, the tan will be whatever the other genes intended, but there will be no dark pigment anywhere in the coat, the dog will be its tan all over.

Add colour paling alleles that gradually bleach the tan, and black-loss alleles that gradually reduce the black to a brown, and you might THINK the pooch has changed colour, but the actuality is that it still has just its black (and tan, unless it is a self-colour) but less of whichever of the eumelanin and/or the phaeomelanin is being attacked & degraded. The simplest way to visualise what these particular alleles do is to think of a spray gun - when freshly filled the gun lays down a strong colouration, but the colouration gets paler as the tank reaches almost empty and so mostly air gets sprayed out.
One modifier - very common in GSDs that have a white ancestor - fairly quickly turns the tan on the insides of the legs and on the "pants feathers" (and sometimes on the belly too) to a silvery white.

What DOES alter is the RATIO of black vs tan.
At birth all correctly-coloured GSDs are born totally black (they will be self-blacks or possibly black-sables) or almost totally black (except for tan on cheeks, eyebrows, pasterns, and by the anus). But as the birth fluids dry you see that for some their black is actually a dark honey colour that is darker above the spine and on the head. Those are the traditional wolf-sables, whereas the ones that remained mostly black when dry are the tan points (which end up as either saddle-backs or extended saddles or as bi-colours).
- I've already said that the traditional wolf-sables quickly look dark-honey all-over, until the dark-tipped guard hairs emerge at about 14 weeks old, after which how dark the adult looks depends on how far down each guard hair the dark tip extends.
- With the tan-points, the tan starts spreading upwards by the time the first shiny black hairs appear - usually as a diamond about 1/3rd way down the tail and then suddenly spreading from above the spine. The tan spreads barely at all with bi-colours; just a little with extended saddles (to little higher than the belly), considerably with ordinary saddles. But although it occupies more AREA than it used to, the tan is still the SAME colour (until colour paling happens, if it does) that the baby pup had, and the dark is still the same black or liver or blue-gray that it always was, just shinier now, as though lacquer has been rubbed on.

•• If you are a GSD person, add http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source to your browser's Bookmarks or Favorites so that you can easily look up such as feeding, vaccinations, clubs, weights, teething, neutering, disorders.
Then join it so you can access its Photos section. There are many photos yet to be added, but what's already in the colour albums give a pretty good idea as to how GSDs of various patterns & colours develop, often from birth.
You can then also click its Files section to download "Choosing a GSD.doc" which will help you understand which things are important when choosing a breeder and a litter, and when deciding whether a rescued GSD might suit your needs.

To ask about GSDs, join some of the 400+ YahooGroups dedicated to various aspects of living with them. Each group's Home page tells you which aspects they like to discuss, and how active they are. Unlike YA, they are set up so that you can have an ongoing discussion with follow-up questions for clarification. Most allow you to include photos.
