Does anyone know why? Just asking?? One reason might be that the puppies are sold well before they are born. White German shepherds are in high demand. Hundreds, or perhaps thousands of people like the look. We few conformation folk seem to not like what they look like. In the overall world, we are but a few, and the many think otherwise. I remember Shadow Acres Kennel. They bred Whites, took a $500 deposit, and promised a puppy within three years. It seems more people want Whites than we think. That kennel was in Southern California, and I have no idea what happened to them. In our little world, we don't like White shepherds. Or, at least some of us feel that way. Some of the members of the GSDCA like Whites and even breed them. If put to a vote, we will find out what the majority think, not just those few of us who post or sign a petition. Evan L.
