The UKC ONLY changed the rule of breeding a WS with a UKC GSD, and requiring any white pups ONLY be registered as GSDs, because the UWSC requested it be done. This was NOT the UKC just doing it on a whim. UKC would have just left all as is. So, I cannot see why the UKC would drop the whites (wGSDs) out of the UKC GSD breed all together. There are "white" breeders who breed and show as UKC GSDs, and support the UKC and UKC shows. There is NO UKC GSD Parent Club, and as long as the two or three UKC GSD clubs cannot agree, there will not be a UKC GSD Parent Club. Barb Hively - PA DNA.

They already changed the breeding the White Shepherd to the GSD it will probably happen with whiteGSD to the GSD too. As the UKC is privately owned it does not need to answer to anyone else and it is growing fast. If it is accepted into FCI the Swiss White Shepherd will be joining the UKC and not AKC if there is not a separate breed for them. If all the countries are changing for the White Shepherd to become a separate breed I see the AKC by holding out losing more money of not doing it. DNA has nothing to due with it as there are already other Shepherd Dogs there as a separate breed. Germany years ago as well as other countries removed the white from their breeding program as I already mentioned do see this happening in the UKC too. I just want the best for the GSD so look at the bigger picture as of what will probably happen in the future.

So, if we could no longer breed to colored AKC dogs, we would just have the ones who would breed to ours, dual register the stud in the UKC. ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2012.
