And? I don't get the point. White was never desirable. It wasn't a DQ
and now it is...Tom Brown gave the whole history, no need for me to repeat.
If you read what she says you know it isn't sound science. We know we
don't get whites by breeding faded B/Ts to black......so??????
Now we are citing an eccentric old lady as...what???? A point????

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,
âThe English
Cocker Spaniel in America,â and, collaborating with her
curator of art, Miss
Josephine Z. Rine, âThe German Shepherd Dog in
America.â
"only if albino characteristics were evident."
Hmmm. I wonder how Mrs.
Dodge would feel today.
