Who owns a White German Shepard?
Edited on Fri Jul-20-07 11:12 PM by HawkeyeX
I work with a client that has two purebred WGS - they're very sweet. The male (Roman Caine) is a showdog (not neutered), the other one, (Klea Luna) is a quiet, shy little dog (spayed).

They are about a year and a half old (I think they are siblings, not sure)

But boy, they do love destroying their toys.

EDIT: I may see the client next week - I'll ask him to send me a few photos of the dogs. They are beautiful.

1. There is no way they own a White German Shepherd showdog

It's a disqualifying fault and the dog should be never be bred.

3. According to the AKC

white German Shepherds are disqualified from been shown, as they do not fit the breed standard. Dogs should only be bred to further the breed. The fiance is a German Shepherd nut.

4. I rescued a german shepherd mix about a year ago
By far the most destructive dog I've ever owned. Very sweet and very loving, but shreds everything he can get his teeth on. My brother had a female that was the same way. It must be a shepherd trait.
