The color-headed white Shelties are in the same situation. They were allowed
previously, but later became a breed DQ. Some say because breeders were
annoyed that color-headed whites, owned by a certain person, were winning at
shows. Some say because of health issues related to the "lethal" white gene in
merles. Same sad story - no one really knows why.
BUT, the color-headed white Collie is perfectly acceptable and is shown in
AKC. I believe they have the same genetic color makeup as Shelties.

DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] whites ya or nay?
I have always found this conversation interesting and though I am of no
significant sway either way I thought I would put a penny of thought in.�
�
�Who recalls�a time when whites were part of the GSD conformation show ring
and
any other GSD venue?�It seems�just one change and they were DQ.� How sad
when
that happened because no one can give a perfectly good reason for it.� You
might
say diluting color and you would be wrong or that they were not as healthy and
again you would be wrong.��Pleae share any viable reason for the change
that has
some truth.�
�I would think that in our more scientific, truth restored�and modern world
those reasons would not play such a huge part but it seems that we have the
same
prejudices again.
Wouldn't it be nice if they had a their own variety (since some have such color
issues) in the GSD conformation ring and not be shunned and perhaps we might
then have a more cohesive and united breed.
I don't see it happening but it is a pleasant thought�worth a penny or two.
