In 1996, at the WGSDCI National in Indiana, Ronda Beaupre stated that if the
GSDCA ever permitted the whites to compete and win the obedience GV or GVx,
AWSA would no longer seek breed separation. These comments are in the WGSDCI
official minutes fromthat meeting in 1996.
So, here we are. Why is AWSA still seeking breed separation?

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Recent BOG â?? AWSA Position clarification
ecent BOG â?? AWSA Position clarification
would like to clarify or elaborate on the following bullet from the GSDAC BOD.
White German Shepherd Dog Federation
fter hearing from representatives of the American White Shepherd Association
nd the White German Shepherd Dog Federation, the board voted to allow all
KC-registered German Shepherd Dogs, regardless of color or other disqualifying
hysical faults, to be eligible to compete for the titles of Agility, Herding
nd Obedience Victor/Victrix at the National trials.
he American White Shepherd Association (AWSA) was invited by the GSDCA Board to
peak at the January Board Working Session Friday Jan 27, 2012. AWSA spent
ime and money to again attend another GSDCA Board meeting to present our case,
nly to find out decisions were already made prior to us even making our
resentation.
hat AWSA is asking for: German Shepherd Dog Club of America Board to Draft a
etter to the American Kennel Club that it will NOT protest the AKC establishing
he White Shepherd as a separate breed within the Foundation Stock Service
rogram.
WSA is committed to establishing the White Shepherd/Berger Blanc Suisse as
istinct breed in the United States.
his is an entirely separate issue than the objectives of the White German
hepherd Dog clubs. AWSA recognizes and respects the desires of those groups
o have their dogs remain as GSDs under the AKC/GSDCA umbrella, but our goal
o establish the White Shepherd/Berger Blanc Suisse as a distinct AKC Breed are
ntirely separate and have nothing to do with those goals.
WSA is NOT seeking to gain any inclusiveness of the white coated GSD within the
KC GSDCA
egardless of any concessions the GSDCA Board makes regarding the white coated
SD, AWSA is firmly committed in establishing the White Shepherd/Berger Blanc
uisse as a distinct breed within AKC. The rest of the world has moved on.
his breed is flourishing elsewhere, including Germany, and recognized as a
eparate and distinct breed by the SV, as well as the FCI.

WSA will continue to pursue every avenue possible to establish the White
hepherd/Berger Blanc Suisse breed with AKC.
