Blue GSDs are often found in normal litters if they are line bred to Rosehurst Chris who carried the Blue dilution gene. No one should be breeding just for the length of coat or colour

Neither blue nor liver are accepted colours in GSDs but they do occur.Both dilutions have pale pigment & pale eyes which is also not acceptable

There is club for dogs with are longcoated & non standard colours I'm sure someone will post it here.

Since Liver and Blue are both undesireable colours for a GSD you will have to be extra careful if buying one. Someone who breeds for non standard colours will often do so at the expense of other things...for example confirmation,health and even temperament.
If you find a breeder do not be conned by 'rarity' value...a blue or liver GSD is worth no more than any other colour and make sure that the sire and dam have had the relavent health tests done....Hip scores etc.
