Yes, there were white champions up until around that time. I am not sure of the exact year, but, it was in the 60's. I always felt badly for people who had pointed whites, maybe even major points, who then could never finish their nice dogs when the GSDCA changed the standard.

As I am sure Helen will either agree or correct me for this, the white color was included in the breed for showing until 1968. sheila ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
