Embarkvet.com: 100% White Shepherd ALTERNATIVE NAMES : White Swiss Shepherd, Berger Blanc Suisse embk.me/i/lilyoislamaeghan The White Shepherd is a variety of the German Shepherd Dog, aka GSD, the second most popular dog breed in the United States, and the fourth most popular in the United Kingdom (where it is known as Alsatian). The GSD was Standardized in Germany at the end of the 19th century from local dogs used for herding and livestock guarding. White Shepherds were developed from the white-coated German Shepherds in the United States and Canada, and both display the same confidence, courageousness, keen sense of smell and notable intelligence that make them well suited to police work, military roles, and search and rescue. They require regular physical and mental exercise and have a heavy shedding coat. Sometimes called the "Alsatian wolf dog", the GSD is not a true wolf dog, they are 100% dog.
