Our Story
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 Brooke has been heavily involved in all aspects of the breed in 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
Neigepearl dogs have appeared in the Australian media i.e.
television and also major magazines/newspapers educating the public about the
breed. 2002: Herald Sun newspaper article 2002:

with White Buffalo Cheyenne In 2003, Neigepearl imported frozen semen from 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!
