In German Shepherd Dogs the recessive gene for white coat hair was cast in the breed gene pool by the late 19th and early 20th century breeding program that developed and expanded the German Shepherd Dog breed in Germany. A white herding dog named Greif was the grandfather of Horand von Grafrath, the dog acknowledged as the foundation of all contemporary German Shepherd Dog bloodlines.
During the 1970’s, white dog fanciers in the United States formed their own White German Shepherd Dog breed clubs, breeding and showing their dogs at small specialty dog shows. By the late 1990’s a portion of fanciers decided to establish a new American White Shepherd breed standard and petitioned the American Kennel Club for breed recognition, separate and independent from the German Shepherd dog breed club’s control. The American Kennel Club has not granted recognition or registration for the American White Shepherd Dog breed, but breeders associated with the American White Shepherd Breed Club continue club activities and continue to negotiate with the AKC for breed recognition. The American Kennel Club continues registration of German Shepherd Dogs with white coats under its German Shepherd Dog breed registry.
