Since it is possible for two AKC or CKC Black and Tan GSDs to produce white puppies, to me it's ridicules to call white shepherds a different breed!....at one time white dogs were eligible to be shown in conformation....the right thing to do is to allow them back in....have a white class...with the winner of the class going on to winners' class...and while we're at it...let the coats in too..........tell me where the harm is in making these changes?...Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
