Ah, but the white coated GSD was gray wolf-like in color early in the
breed. They were in the conformation ring before they were
disqualified. One question is WHY isn't the GSD supposed to be white?
Second question is - If, as sometimes mentioned, it was because of
things that have since been proven false, Why is it still
disqualified? Is it because the vote of the board was that it simply
does not like that color? Does that color affect the ability of the
dog?
I remember when blacks were frowned upon. Now they are in demand.
Yes, other breeds disqualify certain colors or markings as they
apparently seem to wish. But this all requires a change in the breed
standard. I guess it wasn't hard to change the breed standard to
disqualify the white color.
