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

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 culled by breeders at birth. Brooke passionately pursued the media and promoted the dogs as equals, despite their unacceptable coat colour. She started the Australian club for the breed, which saw a new breeding program focussed on breed and health improvement. Brooke is actively involved in events and activities for owners and educates breeders into the genetics, health, reproduction and breeding ethics of these dogs. She also does the administration side of things for the club with pedigree database management.

Brooke is a member of the Master Dog Breeders Academy, which is an organisation whose members abide by the toughest codes of conduct ever placed on breeders, which demonstrates their commitment of standards over and beyond those normally expected of them. It is more than evident that Brooke is very involved and passionate about the welfare of the breed and its continuous improvement.

Brooke is also a member of the Victorian Canine Association (VCA), Victorias peak body representing owners and breeders of purebred dogs in Victoria. The VCA is a member of the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC).

Brooke has been heavily involved in all aspects of the breed in Australia and is involved with breed improvement on a worldwide scale.

The majority of White Shepherd breeders in Australia have made breeding choices based on Brookes advice and assistance and in turn, they have also been successful and produced top winning dogs. Many breeders across Australia have asked Brooke for expertise in choosing the best quality pups in their litters, which have gone to to win at shows and prove themselves good producers. Her influence has stretched far and wide and we now see many quality dogs in Australia and a huge increase in the genepool due to her dedication and selfless assistance to other breeders over the years.

Neigepearl dogs have appeared in the Australian media i.e. television and also major magazines/newspapers educating the public about the breed.

In 2003, we imported frozen semen from Americas top White Shepherd Kennels, Royal Acres and Surefire.

Our dogs and their offspring do well at shows and we have produced several pups that have gone on to compete in obedience, agility and herding but more importantly, are well-loved family pets.

Our dogs, Indy & Karo live inside and also have the run of the backyard during the day. They sleep inside beside the bed and are very well behaved and a joy to own.

We are located about 20 mins from Melbourne in the Bayside suburbs.
