I was goofing off looking at pictures of Hearding breeds and came up on this one. Not that I have heard of every breed but never heard of this one. Such a beautiful dog!!!!

- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC
Re: White Swiss
hmmm, never heard of a Swiss White Shepherd either. I take it they are from Switzerland?

Re: White Swiss
What a gorgeous dog!
I wonder how they differ from the white GSDs you see in this country...

Re: White Swiss
Here is why we havent heard of them:
The White Shepherd Dog emerged from white coat lines of the German Shepherd Dog. The White Shepherd breed was officially recognized by the United Kennel Club on April 14, 1999. It was awarded provisional recognition as a breed by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale on November 26, 2002 as the Berger Blanc Suisse. Provisional was changed to official recognition on July 5, 2011 and the Berger Blanc Suisse breed is eligible for CACIB as of July 6, 2011.
From Wikopedia.
The front half looks like a white DS, the back looks like a white GS. Very neat looking.

Re: White Swiss
Since white is a disqualifying color, the owners of white GSDs changed their names and started their own breed clubs and breeding programs. Well, at least that's the simple answer. I see a lot of them at UKC conformation shows.

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Re: White Swiss
I also saw alot of these dogs at ARBA shows quite awhile ago, sorry to say most of them were much better than most of the GSD population at that time. GSD being my first love---I just want to cry at watching them now.CaroleBoaz wrote:Since white is a disqualifying color, the owners of white GSDs changed their names and started their own breed clubs and breeding programs.

Re: White Swiss
OK, so we're talking about the same breed, basically, with different names in different countries, kind of like GSD vs. Alsatian

Thanks, guys!

Re: White Swiss
Overhere they are SO popular 
Thing is...they have a name not to be very assertive...nice way of saying...many will wet their pants (fur for almost anything, many times they are nervous, insecure, act suddenly out of fear. I also know a "good" one with nice charachter, but I know lots who have very poor charachter 
But hey, people like the colour, so there is money to be made...that never helped a breed.

Re: White Swiss
I know what you mean. I have only known one white GSD that was a very cool dog and also, very beautiful, back in Cincinnati. The rest of them I've met have been pretty sorry creatures, and their heads are so skinny!Marjolein wrote:Overhere they are SO popular

Re: White Swiss
I would have to agree! I do think the white shepherds are beautiful! However, I also agree that they seem to posses weak nerves. A trait I find embarrassing in a breed that is supposed to be a working animal.
