The German Shepherd Dog in America was published in 1956 before the change.
Mr Dodge wrote:
"Over-emphasis in breeding black and tans in certain strains produced cream and
white, both of which were considered
undesirable. Now color at this stage was difficult to manage. "
"The white and cream, which evolved from the early tans and lighter browns in
combination with black, was not too difficult
to hold in check, since by means of seletion we can, in some circumstances,
start or stop white almost at will"
"If we want all white we can make the white increase and the dark recede until
no dark remains save a blob on the root of the
tail and the base of the ears.-and we can get rid of that if we keep at it."

A good read, especially this:
Over the years Mrs. Dodge owned some well-pigmented white
Shepherds. Before
bringing out the tar and feathers, please note that Mrs.
Dodge passed away
in 1973, and up until 1968 white was a disqualification only
if albino
characteristics were evident. On top of that, who would
presume to tell Mrs.
Dodge what she could or could not do? She was a standard
setter, a
Renaissance woman well ahead of her time, and the first
woman to judge for
the Westminster Kennel Club, where her assignment was to do
Best In Show.
Mrs. Dodge judged shows in every state in this country, and
the top shows in
Canada, England, Ireland, and Germany, and wrote two books,
“The English
Cocker Spaniel in America,” and, collaborating with her
curator of art, Miss
Josephine Z. Rine, “The German Shepherd Dog in
America.”
"only if albino characteristics were evident."
Hmmm. I wonder how Mrs.
Dodge would feel today.
