∙ 14y agoAye aye aye... German shepherds are HERDING dogs, not attack dogs. They are Friendly. I would trust any of the past, say, 20 German shepherds with any baby. They are sweet and loving, and rarely ever attack. The myth of German shepherds being attack dogs started when the percent of German shepherds being police dogs grew to 75%. They were bred for protecting flocks of sheep from wolves.

∙ 12y agoGerman shepherds are white very rare, is true, (it is usually a bad breeder [not true]), or just a mix of the genes between the dog's parents.(somewhat true).
The fact is, originally there was an albino that was bred and begot a "plain" white shepherd, which in turn was bred to another, obviously a different bloodline, and hence the "white" line was adopted. If the "bad breeder" mentioned above would have bred the same bloodline, he would have "sickly" pups and the "white" bloodline would have never existed.

∙ 14y agoSolid black German Shepherds are the result of a double recessive black gene. They and bi-colors are probably the least common colors among German Shepherds. While they are less common than other colors, I wouldn't exactly call them rare. I have one and know about a dozen others out of the 100 or so GSDs I know.

∙ 14y agoThey can be. Many in the German Shepherd fancy consider them substandard, but that doesn't mean they aren't purebred. If the dog has registration papers with a pedigree, then he is purebred, regardless of color.

∙ 12y agoYes and no. White German shepherds are caused by a double recessive gene and black German shepherds are cause by a double dominant genes. With this knowledge, and the growning popularity of these colors, they are becoming more common in kennels today.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, though they are more uncommon than the other colours. White German Shepherds still exist, but they are barred from the show ring as white is not in the breed standard. Breeders used to (some still do) cull white puppies at birth due to their lack of show value.

Is a White Shepherd still a German Shepherd?
Yes...and no. There are purebred, registered German Shepherds who happen to be white. However, under the AKC they are disqualified for showing in the breed ring. This led to a movement to create a separate breed called the White Shepherd (as opposed to the white German Shepherd) under the UKC (United Kennel Club). There was a period of time when a registered white German Shepherd could compete under either breed, but I believe they are now considered two separate breeds. Owners of white German Shepherds had to choose which they wanted their dog to be. Part of the reason for this split is not just about color. On average, White Shepherds have more of a traditional look than modern AKC show German Shepherds. White Shepherds have level backs and are not over angulated, going back to what the German Shepherd was in the 60's and 70's.
