Depends on which one of the clubs you talk to White Shepherd or white GSD as they both have different views. I have no idea how many white GSD's are registered in the AKC today and apparently the AKC does not do that information even for themselves anymore. It would be a start if we knew however on how the best way to proceed with the issue. Why was a letter not sent to the AKC on both issues to have a color variation or the letter for Separation of breed for the voters to decide once and for all? It seems what I read is that if they had sent the letter to AKC for the Separation of Breed as FCI asked for it would have happened. Correct me if I am wrong on this which might be the reason the letter was stopped. As I see it right now we have the separation of the breed anyway with so many voicing opinions against or for the AKC change. Since I do not own a White Shepherd or white GSD or plan on ever owning one but would like for it to be settled so year after year do not need to hear of whether they should or should not it be changed. I do see it all happening again though as history continues to repeat itself as it always does.

I think they want the same AKC Benefits that we have. Their dogs are AKC Registered; but they can not be shown in  Conformation. The only solution that I can see is Color variation (as many breeds have) or separate Registry as a White German Shepherd. Morgan Lewis, RPh.
