Question for yo Julie,
Do the Germans refer to whites as American GSD's ? Someone told me that and
I don't know if it is true or not.

When I first moved to Germany in 1999, the Germans called the white
shepherds, American/Canadian White Shepherds. Many of them were long haired
and most
had very shy soft temperaments. I knew quite a few that did agility &
turnierhund. I never saw one that did Schutzhund.
However, several years ago, the American/Canadian White Shepherd became the
Swiss White Shepherd. The reason for the name change was because if the FCI
were to recognize it as a separate breed, it needed to have a country of
origin and be recognized BY the dog club in that country of origin.
