History & Origins
Developed from white-coated German Shepherd Dogs. When white coats were deemed a fault by German breed clubs in the 1930s, fanciers in North America and Europe continued breeding them separately, eventually establishing the White Shepherd as a distinct breed recognized by various registries including UKC and FCI (as Berger Blanc Suisse).
