This breed has been recognized by the FCI for over a decade.It is just a matter oftime before the AKC adds it to their FSS program to make $$$$ Most of the white GSDs do not want to be this breed. Most actually voted to remain GSDs There are 4 white groups with 3 different agendas 2 joined together to create a voting block - they compose 80% of white owners and breed according to our standard ignoring only the DQ on white. The American White Shepherd group wants to leave and be the AWS not BBS The BBS wants to BBS - and they only want BBS to leave the GSD Both of these groups have a different standard than the other 2 groups. All 4 groups are all now talking to each other. Clear as mud Dr Zoe Backman http://wynsumgsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2015.
