How about this take a look at this website and tell me why we should remove the white DQ? http://www.saveourshepherds.org/breeding.html Remember the movie 1001 Dalmatians? What happened people ran out after the movie and bought Dalmatians to later so many ended up in shelters. The same thing can apply if the GSD Standard is changed well meaning pet buyers will buy pups of all colors and puppy mill or backyard breeders will have a field day.
