The White Shepherd is a Separate Breed World Wide except with the AKC.
The FCI accepted the long-haired type in 2010.
The members voted last year against removing the DQ so it is ended.

Like the White Shepherd who was allowed to show alongside colored dogs
until 1968, the long coat was also originally allowed to
show alongside short coats, as well, until 1915. Thus, we
have a history of allowing both whites and coats to share
equal status with our colored short coated dogs as both were
integral parts of the foundation and formation of our breed
and the breed would not exist without either. Breed
Standards are clearly not written in stone and change
according to the whim of its controller- as demonstrated by
the later exclusion of both whites and long
coats.
