About the White German Shepherd Dog
 In
1890, in an attempt to create a superior herding dog
with an elegant appearance, Capt. Max von Stephanitz
stabilized a breed that would become one of the most
valued dogs in history. From it's German farm dog roots,
the German Shepherd Dog has become extremely well-known
and popular world-wide for it's talents as sentry,
police dog, tracker, drug dog, search and rescue dog,
and guide dog for the blind, to name just a few. German
Shepherds are loyal family dogs and fearless guardians
of the home that excel in obedience work. These highly
intelligent, affectionate dogs make excellent
companions. Their dense, double coat requires regular,
thorough brushing, and these large dogs need plenty of
outdoor exercise. Training at an early age is
recommended.
White Shepherds
are selectively bred for their beautiful snowy white
coats and physical stature, striving for a Shepherd that
closely resembles the original dog; less angular than
today's breed. Devotees of the breed are currently
striving for recognition as a distinct breed with the
AKC and CKC.
