the US or Canada do not require a working title for breeding consideration- there are only a few breeds that do here ( like the Leo's) and even then- they are not accepted by the AKC..
very true, which is why I have zero faith in what the AKC does in preserving working breeds and entirely not the point of what I was saying. There are parent breed clubs that do require breeding stock to be tested and judged against a standard in working venues, and the GSD is one of them. AKC doesn't even recognize working titles, and pretty much have no requirements other than having a pedigree to be bred, again not the point.

I don't understand why someone who isn't breeding for schutzhund should have to do schutzhund?
You don't breed for schutzhund, you breed for a complete dog, which is what the GSD is supposed to be, its the breed test, it's what is used to test and prove breeding stock, it tests nerve, strength, temperment etc. Its the strict standards in breeding and testing that brought the GSD the reputation it has today, and should be preserved. To claim your "breed" can do everything a GSD can do and more??, then prove it.

The original intent of the GSD was a herding dog -- how many schutzhund GSDs do you see herding?
The original intent of the herding dog was one of athletic ability that could run and be agile enough to tend sheep, keep them in line etc, be courageous enough and have the strength to ward off a predatory attack, and have the energy and stamina to work the fields all day. Then at nigh it had to be stable enough and still protective enough to guard the home. At that time in history there were many guardian dogs and many herding dogs, but none that could really do it all. The guardian breeds too big and not athletic enough, and the other "herder" weren't strong enough mentally of physically to engage attackers. not long after the GSD was made famous those qualities were still desired, although the landscape of Germany and the need for herding was diminished, so Schutzhund was developed to ensure that those qualities were tested and maintained within the breed.
Tell me- is it partly cloudy, or partly sunny where you are???? I think you would argue either points, when the weather doesnt depend on you to make a prediction.. If Nicole said partly cloudy- it sounds like to me you would argue " partly sunny"...
Here are some of Nicole's word's

White Shepherds can perform in and excel at AKC performance events like obedience, tracking, agility, flyball and herding trials. White Shepherds can be police dogs, bomb detection dogs, drug sniffing dogs, and Search and Rescue dogs just to list a few.

-Second Whites have been working dogs their entire history. there are whites doing Schutzund even. Don't believe me I can direct you to some. Whites can and do work in Military, Police, SAR's, Herding, Therapy, Assistance, Guide, you name it the White Shepherd has and does do it.

-White Shepherds are a working breed. They have the extremely stable temperment to prove it, the drive to work, the love of people and the sound structure for the job.

Now that is the truth.

-The white has already proved itself in work agianst the standard colored GSD. And it defiantely can hold its own agianst them and in some cases surpass them.

My soul purpose, whether you or anyone else likes it or not, is to produce dogs that have the best structure, temperment, drive, intelligence and so forth to go on to be service dogs for the disable. That is my one and only purpose.

Thank you for your great posts. They are very incitful and I am learning a lot from them. I totally agree with you statement of "well bred WGSDs have slightly more drive and brain." It is so true.

And no they are not RARE. They are just not as common as their colored counterparts.

Everything a GSD can do a WSD can do.
Sounds like she, along with any other white GSD breeder I've seen always directly relates what their dogs do, to the reputations the GSD has built for itself. To that i've said it 1000 times, PROVE IT. There's a reason the GSD has its reputation, and people breeding WGSD's do none of it, where are the LSP, BSP, SchH, HGH winners and titles in those venues? If you're not testing or proving that the WGSD can do anything and everything etc except for a handful of dogs over the pas 30 years I suggest you get off the computer and get training some dogs.
