Kuma's mom is pure white and his dad is Black and tan
Kuma is black and sable. I heard that in the USA if a dog is born white, they kill the whole litter because the genes can be passed on. Don't think of giving them or selling them... KILL them !

Kuma is beautiful.
Terrie,it's usually the Boxers that they do this to. :sad: ..Not the White GSD. White Boxers are prone to being deaf.Along with White Danes.

Yes some breeders cull white GSDs that appear in their litters. It was more common years ago in Germany but it still happens.

Terrie,you have no worries about it happening in the States,even Canada.There are many White GSD breeders in the States.They are a recognized breed.They can be used in the K9,Search and Rescue and Therapy work and SchH III.They are disqualified in conformation shows,but they can compete in specialty shows.And they can get their Championships.As for the health and genetic testing,it is no different then your regular GSD.They go through the same testing.They are not prone to being deaf.And if a breeder of the regular coloured GSD does get a white,they will definately not have it put down.That pup will be sold as a pet.... .....I have talked to a few breeders at the shows about this a while ago.
Like I have mentioned,it's more of the White Boxer that were destroyed.They are the breed that carries the gene for deafness.And actually it seems that now a days this is not being done. This goes for cats also.I have a white cat with blue eyes,and he is deaf.He's a pain in the butt at times,but we still love him......

It's sad,but you're right.Some breeders still do it,many will not admit it.The GSD is an AKC and CKC recognized breed,and white GSDs can be registered.But the color "white" has been voted an AKC/CKC breed standard disqualification in the conformation ring by the parent club (GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG CLUB of AMERICA/CANADA).They can NOT be shown in AKC or CKC conformation.Some of the white folks would like the breeds to be separated,GSDs and White Shepherds.And some don't like that idea,as it would severly reduce the gene pool,because then breeding a white shepherd to a GSD would make a mixed breed dog.They are beautiful dogs,but breeding for color is not a good idea.

The White GSD is registered with the CKC as a GSD. Overview of the Breed: The White Shepherd is registered with the Canadian Club as a German Shepherd Dog. So it's not like they can be registered,they are a registered and recognized breed. And actually,breeding a White GSD to say a Blk/Tan GSD will not give you a mixed breed.

This is the registered litter.
These pics come from a breeder in Canada.They are all registered.Pups included.If they were classified as a mix,the they would not be registered.

They are not a separate recognized breed, they are included as part of a recognized breed,the German Shepherd Dog.And I said that some people want them to be a separate breed,and IF they were a separate breed and someone bred a White Shepherd to a German Shepherd Dog it would be a mixed dog.

My Dad had a white coloured Shepherd growing up, but he said it was a Belgium Shepherd (is that a registered breed?)
Also I almost bought (Many years ago, before I knew any better) a Black Shepherd (It was completely black, no other colour) are they treated the same as the white one. (can they be registered?)

Yes,being all black is not a fault,nothing prevents them from being registered and shown.
He may have meant a German Shepherd Dog from Belgium,or he may have meant a Belgian Shepherd.They are different things.You can read more here about Belgians here: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/belgiangroenendael.htm |

Gorgeous Shepards!
Gorgeous shepards! All of them - including those pudgy little pups! I love shepards, my family owned a few of them, one of them was also a 'belgium' shepard. When I went to the link, Ceasar definitely wasn't a belgian shepard if they only come in black, he looked more like the Teruvian - but had a much better defined saddle and mask. We also had a traditional german shepard named Bunny and a totally black shepard named Sonny. Love those dogs - great watchdogs, protectors and buddies!!

OMG, those pups are so beautiful you just want to eat em.
As I stated, Kuma's mom is pure white and she is a show dog as his father who's tan and black. Both are registered with the CKC and AKC Kuma had two white sisters, sold at birth, two black brothers and one brother who looked just like him. The breeder is the one that told me about the white recessive genes. :sad: But I was in the market for a pure black one, and when she brought two black pups and two black and sable, Kuma won my heart right away. I squatted on the floor playing with the pups and Kuma came between my legs and sat right between them, looking at his brothers like " This is MY new MOM !" his tail looks like it's been dipped in white paint, that's his mom, but he has my eyes and nose I can't understand why they just can't sell them as pets or even give them away instead of killing them... Humans are such cruel animals!
