| Notes |
| |
The Berger Blanc Suise, more commonly known as the White German
Shepherd was often considered a
mutation of
the
German Shepherd Dog, until recently when it was finally considered a
separate breed after years of campaigning from White Shepherd enthusiasts.
Currently, this breed is only recognised by the
FCI and the
UKC, but more efforts are being made to give the breed worldwide recognition
as a separate and distinct breed from the GSD.
Appearance
The Berger Blanc Suisse is descended from the German Shepherd Dog, and has
nearly the same standard, excepting the colour of its coat. To differentiate the
Dog from an albino, each member of the breed should have dark eyes and nails and
black pigmentation on the: lips, eyelids, pads of the feet and nose. Black, blue
or gray skin is preferable.
