This is an open forum for discussion of any issue concerning the White Shepherd or the White German Shepherd. Such issues may include but not be limited to breed separation, AKC concerns, gripes, opinions, health issues, pictures, cute stuff, show information, and any other matter of interest to the poster. Vigorous discussions and even heated discussions are welcome so long as we do not personally attack those with whom we disagree. The free exchange of ideas will be UNCENSORED except that profanity will not be allowed. Peaceful forums can be blissful but ignorance is bliss. Nothing is learned or accomplished through limitations on speech. I will allow no one to restrict my right to state an opinion on any subject in the name of maintaining "peace". My point of view is that White Shepherds, and those who love them, would be better off with breed separation. I am an amateur on genetics, historical issues concerning breed separation, and ignorant on many, many things concerning the White Shepherd. I do admire and love this dog, and I welcome those who disagree with me on any point to this forum. I not only learn from my friends, I also learn from those with whom I strongly disagree.
