After much research I see a very good reason for the white GSD to have
their own breed with AKC. Years ago the same White Shepherd Dog
breeders requested UKC to accept the White Shepherd Dog as a separate
breed and they did. Since then "FCI recognition of White Shepherds as " Berger
Blanc
Suisse"

If you go read and read the above Breed Standard, the White Shepherd breeders
in America who have followed, have bred white dog to white dog registering in
the UKC as a White Shepherd for several years. Since Germany accepted this as
did the other Euro countries why not the GSDCA. I would thinkseparated
be better for the GSD to seperate from the white GSD for them to form their new
breed for the white GSD. All it should take is for the GSDCA heads to approve
and write a letter to FCI and AKC that they did agree. After much researching
I find separationrs and owners that oppose the seperation are the German
Shepherd breeders that breed off-color and white GSD's or GSD breeders that
intermix white GSD's with the Breed Standard GSD. For the true breeders of the
White Shepherd AKC like the UKC did, should make it possible for them to be
able to import-export their dogs to have the possiblity to continue to breed
their White
Shepherd without
having to inbred or linebred their dogs.
As far as fading colors Axel-Troll, etc. produced puppies and carried for
generation
and still do that trait. So that had nothing to due with changing the Breed
Standard
but Germany did. I am still researching answers but so far only find the
following Germany's decision.
As far as DNA all that can tell you is the dogs color and parentage as of right
now there is no way to know of the certainty of breed.

From what I've read, back in the 1940's/1950's the Germans cooked up the term
"Fading color" to designate dogs of lighter colors with the allegation that
such fading colors and white are signs of degeneracy.
It was in the 1960's that we, (GSDCA), followed this allegation by DQ White
GSD's. Yes, other issues such as White would blend in with sheep was claimed.
(Grrr....Not all sheep are white....)
Someone disagreed with my original post.....claiming Whites were not DQ'd for
lack of knowledge. That they, the GSDCA, knew that White was not associated
with health problems. And, that the White GSD was DQ'd by the majority vote of
the membership because that is the way the members wanted it.
It sure would be nice to know WHY they wanted it..... what was the reason for
the GSDCA to DQ the White GSD?
