Dear Ms. Garrick,
In reference to your inquiry we would like to inform you that the German Shepherd Dog with “Long stock coat with undercoat” will be integrated into breeding and conformation shows. But, before this can be done a request for the change of the German Shepherd Dog race standard has to be submitted to FCI; the target for the start of the new rules is as of 2010. We will publish further information in the SV magazine and on our homepage as soon as we will have received the approval of FCI.
We hope we have been able to help you with this information.
Best regards
A. Fath

So does that mean they will eventually allow white GSD's back into breed programs.......?

Neither one is FCI recognized. The FCI only permits breed organizations from Germany which are affiliated with the VDH (Verband fuer das Deutsche Hundewesen). As you might have guessed, the SV is the largest breed organization within the VDH and holds a key position. The other thing is that you won't get any papers or registration for puppies bred by these breeders who belong to either organization, unless you try with the UKC of course. Maybe, they would register them, since they seems to take any kind of dog under their wings.

Besides, when you go through their trials, shows and breeding announcements, you will find that the majority of the adults come from SV breeders.
Out of curiosity, I would like to know if anybody ever imported a dog registered with either the ASVD or the LSVD from Germany. What happened with registration over here?
The SV will keep long stockcoats seperate. That means that they will only be bred amongst themselves and not paired up with stockcoats. The coats will have their own breed book, classes at shows and breed survey. In short, they will be called a variety and not judged against normal stockcoats. This will start next year.

P.S. Mirasmom, white shepherds are not German Shepherds! They are FCI recognized under the name of the Berger Blanc Suisse which translates into Swiss White Shepherd. Here is a link for your information: www.berger-blanc-international.com/english/index.html But as a GSD breeder, I am sure you were aware of that. As to your longcoat: Since your breeding program does not follow SV regulations, meaning that you title, show and breed survey your breeding stock, it should not matter much anyway - as long as you have AKC registration!

White is a disqualification.
