Is that true in any color (dilute or masking or whatever) in the GSD? When I first heard about Whites, that is what I was told. But, there are some dedicated breeders that for years have bred Whites and kept the lines pure. The ones I have seen now, from breeders seem as strong and healthy as any other faction of the breed. I will leave the direct answer to one of the breeders, there are a few of the White owners on this List.
