what are white shepherds

White shepherds are a breed of herding dog directly related to the german shepherd dog. In fact, with the exception of the coat color allele (a gene marker) that produces the white coat color, white shepherds are genetically the same as the fsd. However, the history of the white shepherd produced a separation in europe and the united states in the 19 century that allowed for the most part the white shepherd to develop into a distinct type of dog that is different from the original colored shepherds. The White Shepherd was recognized by the United Kennel Club on April 14, 1999, and permanentaly as a distinct breed by the Federation Cynologique Internationale( aka the world canine organization) in July 2011.
