A member of the WGSDCI bred her German bitch (deep black and red, no white hairs) to a white male. The bitch whelped 11 pups ---- 5 were white! Of the white, some were solid, snow white, and some were beige white. This German bitch is a daughter of Sila. Another GSD breeder bred a brother to his sister (both colored, with colored pedigree) back in the mid-80s, and got white pups. My guess would be, if GSDs in Germany are producing whites, the whites do not survive, and are never reported. Of course, I do not know this for fact. There use to be a list, on the internet, listing all of the GSDs known to have produced white offspring. I cannot seem to find it now, but it had a lot of dogs on it. Maybe someone can direct us to that list??? Barb Hively - PA DNA.
