Since we're on the White GSD issue or should I say its quality vs the quality of the colored I thought of a conversation I had a few years ago with a lady here in Mich. For a long time I was one of those "the only good white is a dead white" people, I still prefer my B/T but that's neither here nor there. Since my ex and her sister were both into the Whites the atmosphere when the three of us were together was touchy I flat out couldn't stand there whites and they were down on the coloreds because of their crappy temperment etc. back to my conversation. While at a Spec I spotted Diana Pipoly(?sp)when I mentioned to her about the attitude that my ex and her sister had towards the coloreds her response was" there are problems with the White dogs it's just that people don't want to admit it" kinda like wearing rose colored glasses. Now for those of you who are uninformed Diana had been active in the Whites for years and until her divorce owned the top winning/producing White mal e Moses Lascar von Tasz. While looking at the White shepherd annual I came across a male with lines to some of our top stud dogs one of them was Hatter.
