May 1, 1999, the United Kennel Club recognized the White German Shepherd as a separate breed known as the White Shepherd.
The following excerpt is taken from the May-June 1999 issue of Bloodlines Magazine, the official publication of the United Kennel Club. "Kalamazoo, Michigan: April 14, 1999: The United Kennel Club announces the recognition of the White Shepherd. The White Shepherd is a breed that has developed in the past 40 years by breeders dedicated to preserving the traditional German Shepherd Dog structure and the striking white color that was disqualified by the German Shepherd Dog Club of America in 1968."
This accomplishment is the result of hard work and dedication by the members of the United White Shepherd Club (UWSC), and the American White Shepherd Association?s (AWSA) Breed Recognition Committee, but this is only the beginning. AWSA members and other devotees of the White Shepherd continue to work toward the goal of worldwide recognition of this beautiful dog.
In an attempt to understand why and how the white German Shepherd Dog was disqualified from the show ring, information was gathered from old German Shepherd Dog Reviews (circa 1952-1976) and other newsletters. We need to understand the past so we can move from our present divided status as 1) separate breed with the UKC; 2) disqualifying fault unable to show in the breed ring with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC); 3) rare breed with FORB, ARBA, the Canadian Rarities and other rare breed clubs, to a future where all clubs are united for a breed apart: the White Shepherd.
