The History
of our Breeding Program At the start
of our breeding program, we aimed to combine our foundation lines with blood
lines we felt were some of the best in the world. Our first
white, Whitepearl
Karo, had a grandmother named Phaedrus Sophie who was bred to an ex-police dog called Ziggi.
Sophies sire was an excellent locally-bred, ANKC main-registered White German
Shepherd Dog male, Alpenwolf Arctic
Warlock CDX (Companion Dog Excellent obedience title) and Legionare Zorbrae, daughter of the
well-known Sieger
& Australian Champion Prima Zorba (Kkl1) and Edlenblut
Kleo. Whitepearl Karos bloodline is intensified on these
wonderful lines.

Alpenwolf Arctic Warlock CDX (aka Blitz, owned and loved by Martina Gandert) We acquired
White Buffalo Cheyenne (Keah) for our close friends John and Vera Harrison,
for the purpose of bringing new blood lines and to give them a lovely pet
they so much longed for. Keah was out of a beautiful white female called
Muellers Skye and a longcoat import, called Debylyn White Buffalo (IMPORT
UK). Karo was bred to the beautiful White Buffalo Cheyenne (Keah) from
Western Australia in 2003 and produced our very first litter of Neigepearl
puppies. Where to from
our foundation? We
investigated many dogs and lines to improve our lines and go forward with,
and looked closely at conformation (structure), producing abilities (what the
pups were like that they had produced), health and genetics of their pups and
pedigrees. We felt the American/Canadian dogs were the closest to the German
Shepherd Dog Breed Standard and appreciated their style and type. There were
no dogs in After months
of detailed investigation, we imported the frozen semen in 2003 from Royal Damien of
Teens Desire (Damien) and Tumbledowns Super
Sonic (Super). We made this decision to import semen
from these dogs and another breeder shared some of the associated semen costs
and its import to
Schatzfunde Kennels,
our good friends who compete in the dog sport arenas, used some of our semen
from Super in 2006. Whitemist Treasure (Schatzi AD JDX GD SPD HT ET)
has excellent conformation and working ability and could offer a lot to the
breed. She was bred to frozen semen from Super and a healthy litter of 7 pups
were born on 9 January 2007. This litter has proven to have fantastic working
ability like their mum, who has the most titles ever attained by a white in We had some
unsuccessful attempts to mate our females (White Buffalo
Cheyenne and Amortentia Reckless
Abandon) with the frozen semen in 2003 and 2007, due to
pregnancy misses and hormone levels not progressing along enough artificial
insemination (A.I). With White
Buffalo Cheyenne, her hormone levels were not rising normally,
so it was advised by our vet not to go ahead with the AI. We decided to mate
her with our lovely stud, Whitepearl
Karo. This litter produced some excellent, very typey offspring
in 2003, which formed the original foundation of our kennel. One female we
kept from this litter was Neigepearl
Vital Obsession (Indy), who truly became the solid foundation
of our breeding program. She was born about 6 months after we had imported
the semen from the USA in 2003. Semen from Damien was collected by a vet in

Cheyenne had a litter in 2006 under our prefix with Kyanjuwa
White Bear. We produced a few excellent looking dogs and exported three
overseas to Finland and Netherlands, which were subsequently registered as
White Swiss Shepherd Dogs under the FCI and official kennel clubs. One of the
males we kept in Australia, Neigepearl
White Phoenix (Loki) is a lovely breed example, but
unfortunately, was not able to be used in our breeding program. A littermate

successfully overseas, earning championship titles with some of the best
European breeders!

on her second artificial insemination try to Damien,
which finally produced 8
puppies, a mixture of black/gold, white and sable
colours. The male pups resulting from this litter, Ziggi,
Ziek
and Balto
are exceptional and a wonderful step forward in the improvement of our
breeding program – in all aspects! They were featured in the Herald Sun
newspaper as puppies. Over the
years, we have mated our foundation lines with some quality local blood lines
such as Rhine
Weiss Snowy, Alpinarc Attention Seeka and Alpinarc
Apparitions, as well as some excellent quality, proven
black/gold ANKC Champion and working German Shepherd Dogs. We have also
had excellent results using excellent quality black/gold German Shepherd Dogs
in our breeding program. They have so much to offer the whites and while the
opportunity exists (and the whites are not recognised as a separate breed),
they have contributed vast improvements in conformation, knowledge of
pedigree, health and performance. I simply can
not go on without saying just how instrumental Indy
has been to our breeding program. Her fearless and confident character, her
working aptitude, her affectionate, tuned-in temperament and her excellent
ability to produce awesome quality puppies in each and ever litter, has made
is very proud. She really is one in a million! You can see several of her
pups and grand pups on our Males
and Females
pages.

Obsessive Demands (Koda) and Neigepearl Crashdown Zan (Cooper). Both are
handsome sons by Indy (different sires). You can see a lot of similarities to
their mother!

Indy grandson, Samson (Neigepearl Incredible Hulk). You can see the family
resemblance to Indy and also his uncles above. Samson is very close to our
ideal type. Before
retiring Indy from our breeding program in 2009, we decided to try a
dual-sire A.I. litter with the frozen semen we had from the We like to think that we
can have it all in our breeding
program by carefully choosing the right dogs with the best genetic material.
A dog that is not constructed well, or does not look like a true shepherd, or
is from a line of serious health problems, is not good enough for us. This
breed is a versatile breed, being able to be a good worker in many
activities, a close friend & companion, whilst must be bred to a correct
standard. With this in mind, we
breed for perfect conformation, temperament, health and working ability, all
as equal priorities.
We do not simply breed pretty show dogs, but our dogs and the pups we
breed are active and train in many forms of dog sports and are also excellent
family companions. We have great pleasure in
seeing the descendants of our Neigepearl blood lines in far away countries,
achieving a lot of success. As always, we are excited about the future our
kennel holds here in Finally and most
importantly, we would like to thank the people who have helped us on our
journey so far in the breed. That includes co-owners, stud owners, other
breeders and our friends and family, from |
