That is a SMALL group of WS fanciers who did that.  The members of the WGSDCA 
and WGSDCII are not for breed separation. We show our whites as UKC German 
Shepherds.

And, if that group was so "for" breed separation, why can a UKC German Shepherd 
be bred to a UKC White Shepherd some 12 years later?????   The offspring may be 
individually registered as either UKC GSD or UKC WS.

IMO - the UKC did to appease a small group of people.  And, only a small number 
of breeders / owners actively show their UKC White Shepherds consistently at 
UKC shows.  Heck, some of the AWSA members won't show in UKC at all.  They show 
at AWSA shows instead.

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

f you go read and read the above�Breed Standard, �the White Shepherd 
breeders 
n America�who have followed, �have bred white dog to white dog registering 
in 
he UKC as a White Shepherd for several years.� Since Germany accepted this as 
id the other�Euro countries why not the GSDCA. I�would�thinkseparated 
be�better 
or the GSD to seperate�from the white GSD for them to form their new 
reed�for�the white GSD.��All it should�take is for 
the�GSDCA�heads�to approve 
nd�write a letter to FCI and AKC that they did agree.� After much 
researching I 
ind separationrs and owners that oppose the seperation are the German Shepherd 
reeders that breed off-color and white GSD's or GSD breeders that intermix 
hite GSD's�with the�Breed Standard GSD. For the true breeders of the White 
hepherd AKC like the UKC did, should make it possible for them to be able to 
mport-export their dogs�to have the possiblity to continue to breed their 
White
Shepherd without
aving to inbred or linebred their dogs.

s far as fading colors Axel-Troll, etc. produced puppies and carried for 
eneration
nd still do that trait.� So that had nothing to due with changing the Breed 
tandard
ut Germany did.� I am still researching answers but so far�only find the 
ollowing� Germany's decision.

s far as�DNA all that can tell you is the dogs color and parentage as of 
right 
ow�there is no way to know of the certainty of�breed.

rom 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 
ading colors and white are signs of degeneracy.
t was in the 1960's that we, (GSDCA), followed this allegation by DQ White 
SD's. Yes, other issues such as White would blend in with sheep was claimed. 
Grrr....Not all sheep are white....)
omeone disagreed with my original post.....claiming Whites were not DQ'd for 
ack of knowledge. That they, the GSDCA, knew that White was not associated with 
ealth problems. And, that the White GSD was DQ'd by the majority vote of the 
embership because that is the way the members wanted it.
t sure would be nice to know WHY they wanted it..... what was the reason for 
he GSDCA to DQ the White GSD?
