HD does not run rampant, there are many other breeds ahead of GSD's in that catagory about 40 of them or so and I don't think any other breed is as highly tested I think maybe Retrievers have the same number or so tested thru OFA, the rest aren't even close. As for breakdowns of White shepherds VS. GSD's, I have yet to see that stat. Plus you'd have a tough time convincing me that a color selected against since the very beginning of the breed and only bred by people breeding outside the standard for COLOR ONLY has a healthier animal. Sorry, but argue all you want, common sense just says it isn't so.

What's so hard to understand. They bred white's to white's to get white's. a very small gene pool. Those that are breeding "colored" GSD's to whites and still getting white's are using ones that have known white's in their pedigree. The top GSD's are not being studded out or using their brood bitches to breed to white dogs to improve them. It's not happening. If you love your dogs fine, but come back to reality please.

I myself have been involved in working dogs only a short time compared to a lot of people. I am a student of the breed and it's history. I have regular contact with people that have been involved in the working and training working dogs for longer than I've been alive and they nor I have ever seen a white shepherds doing the things GSDs are. Many people i know that have been in this stuff over 40 years have seen or heard of maybe one or two ever. I liken it to "designer dog " websites, they're above normal intelligence, they don't shed, they love every one, their best of every world.
