Funkycheezegirl sorry but your clueless the swiss shepherd is a totally diff. dog and breed i suggest you do a little studying on “recessive white genes” a recessive gene is hereditary and NEVER dicludes a dog with it from being part of the original breed. studythe white bears moose and deer of this world before you talk about something your way off on. sheesh

@MetaliCanuck Actually my GSD has a wonderful confirmation and does not angulated legs thank you very much. I have discussed this topic on an Agility forum and have also found that the white GSD is actually a separate breed. Ocasionally you will have a white puppy thrown into a litter of GSD which in that case I would make an acception but the ones which are bred to be white are known as; Berger Blanc Suisse and in German; Weisser Schweizer Schäferhund. Meaning; White Swiss Shepherd

@funkycheezegirl btw the IGSS recognized the white gsd back in 2006. Those are the facts. The real reason youyr asshat breeder told you that **** is because they dont even want you attemting a sniff at a white gsd as property, why because they know hey have less health problems etc. I bet your ARIK has angulated legs also? right? tell me why white gsds here locally go for $3500-$5000 a puuppy while black/tan pups go for 1000 if that? there is a reason sweetheart, dont listen to all breeders

@funkycheezegirl your facts are still wrong, the igss still recognizes them as part of the bReedn they arent recognized for show is all and thats a good fucking thing because the butthole breeders will angulate the legs, everyone i know who thinks they know everything thinks white gsds are full of health probs. thats wrong because none of the 3 white gsds ive had had one health issue, your just confusing people is all, has nothing to do with opinion.

My german shepherd Adolf is 7 monts old and he is my best friend!

@MetaliCanuck I do know my facts and I know for one fact that the White GSD isn’t recognised by the international German Shepherd Dog Association. Not %100 sure if that name is correct but I have read many books and internet documents and all I have read has stated that the White GSD isn’t recognised. It’s like a ridgeback without a ridge. Even though they have now approved of it, it really isnt a ridgeback. Now don’t try to correct me because I can have my opinion even if it’s right or wrong.
