Our Story

 

btNeigepearl breeder, Brooke Taylor, was founder and President (2000-2006) of the first White Shepherd Club in Australia, and is now involved in the White German Shepherd Dog Club of Victoria.

 

Brookes journey into the breed, first started in 2000, when she learnt of the controversy of the white German Shepherd and that they were commonly (and cruelly) culled at birth. Brooke passionately pursued the media about this horrible practice and promoted the dogs as equals, despite their unacceptable coat colour. In 2002, due to media awareness Brooke created, the German Shepherd Dog Clubs of Australia and their state clubs removed the culling clauses from their breeding practices documentation.

 

Brooke then started the Australian club and Stud Book for whites and white gene carriers in Australia, as the ANKC ceased Main registrations of whites in 1995, as it was no longer acceptable to breed with a colour that was a ‘disqualifying fault’. Brooke advocated a breeding program focused on breed and health improvement and encouraged and educated all breeders of these dogs to follow suit. Brooke was (and still is!) actively involved in events and activities for owners and educates breeders into the genetics, health, reproduction and breeding ethics of these dogs.

 

In 2006 she resigned from the Australian club, as she has always had the best interests of the breed at heart and wanted to support an organization whose members worked together in building a strong, healthy and credible gene pool, without egos, personal gain and petty political issues that are common in such clubs. She left to begin the White German Shepherd Dog Alliance of Victoria which advocated everything she believed in and stood for: overall breed improvement, purebred pedigrees and stringent health and temperament testing of breeding dogs, as well as creating a community for the ordinary dog lover, with fun events and education.

 

Indy (Neigepearl Vital Obsession) & Karo (Whitepearl Karo) are important family members in the home and also have the run of a large suburban backyard during the day. They partake in all sorts of working activities and training and love their outings to the lovely parks, reserves and beaches in the area (as you can see by the image on the top left of the screen). Our dogs and their offspring do very well at club conformation shows and we have produced several pups that have gone on to compete in obedience, agility and herding but more importantly, all are well-loved family pets. To learn more about the Neigepearl Breeding Program over the years, click here.

 

Neigepearl breed only for the improvement of the breed but are much loved family pets, first and foremost. The dogs in the Neigepearl breeding program are owned and spoilt by well-trusted friends, and their litters are managed by Neigepearl when they are passed stringent health and temperament testing.

 

Neigepearl Kennels proudly preserves the magnificent heritage of whites as German Shepherd Dogs. Many of the Neigepearl lines go right back to the first ever registered German Shepherd Dog in Germany 100 years ago! The lines we use are 100% purebred and we use a combination of fully registered American, German and Australian pedigrees.

 

Brooke has been heavily involved in all aspects of the breed in Australia and is involved with breed improvement on a worldwide scale. In 2006, she was invited to be a member by the committee of the Master Dog Breeders Association (MDBA), a first for any breeder in Australia to get an invite to. The MDBA is an Australian organization promoting elite and ethical dog breeding and educational courses for breeders who go above and beyond normal breeding responsibilities.

 

Brookes influence has stretched far and wide and we now see many quality dogs in Australia and a huge increase in the gene pool due to her dedication and selfless assistance to other breeders over the years. For Neigepearl, breeding is a art form and also obsession to take the breed to levels of quality unseen of in Australia.

In 2003, Neigepearl imported frozen semen from Americas top White Shepherd Kennels, Royal Acres (Royal Damien of Teens Desire) and Surefire (Tumbledowns Super Sonic). This made Neigepearl first White Shepherd breeder ever to import new lines and also imported semen into the country.

 

The Neigepearl breeding program is focused heavily on breeding dogs superior in temperament, health, conformation and type. This means, we breed solid, old style, correctly structured dogs, of the correct type. We steer away from the fine boned, slender headed, soft character and over angulated dogs. Our dogs are from top quality lines and no expense is spared in producing the best dogs possible.

 

We are extremely proud of our breeding program thus far, and look forward to a very exciting future!
