Karen!...lol.....your argument violates the "orange juice' fallacy ......lets 
say I have and AKC registered orange.......the seeds inside can produce nothing 
other than oranges....can't get grapes, sunflowers, or coconuts........because 
a tree is judged by the fruit it bares......now say I have two AKC German 
Shepherds ( for the record  I have 5..lol)....now I breed one of my males with 
one of my females.......oh no!...I get a WHITE dog.....check mate!......it's a 
WHITE German Shepherd...Ed

I could argue that the above is not quite true. If we 
agree that white is not merely a "color" but a masking 
gene that performs a definite, unique function, and if we 
can agree that a normally colored GSD is not white, then 
we must conclude that the white GSD *is* genetically 
different from the GSD *because* it possesses a genetic 
trait which no normally colored GSD can exhibit: the 
masking gene. And while it is true that normally colored 
dogs can inherit and pass the masking gene along, unless a 
GSD has both copies of the gene, it can never be white.
