Recognition
aims
|
The GSD
breed standard must be changed by the SV in Germany
to allow whites. There is recent talk of the SV
allowing long coats (with undercoat) for showing/breeding soon, so there is
hope to have the whites accepted as a variety also! Maybe one day!
|
Not active in recognition since 2006. Previously
aiming to have Australian whites recognised as White Swiss Shepherd Dogs.
