I agree.Let the guy join the club. As many know, a year ago I judged the National White Specialty show. I saw a number of great dogs, and met a fantastic group of dedicated people. A close friend of mine used to run a White German Shepherd dog sled team. They were the strongest, biggest most sound dogs I have ever seen. This question will never go away, and the more we discuss it, the more we will understand the issues. I have always supported anyone who enjoys the breed, and finds a way to take care of their dogs, and understand the greatness of the German shepherd dogs. White, green, blue or red, the German shepherd is a great breed, whatever the color.
