White German Shepherds For Sale Are Available From Numerous Breeders

By Megan Landry


White German Shepherds are striking animals that possess many of the same traits and characteristics of their traditional counterparts. They enjoy physical activity, are loyal protectors of their families, and show a great deal of affection to their owners. Although most registries do not recognize white as a traditional German Shepherd color, this breed is loved by many individuals throughout the world, and fortunately, White German Shepherds for sale are not difficult to find.

The breed was first developed in Europe. It is believed to be a combination of traditional Shepherds and dogs that had recessive white genes in their bloodline. The coats associated with this breed are beautiful and unique, and as such appeal to many pet owners.

Dogs of this type cannot be entered into shows or competitions for which breed confirmation is required. However, they make loyal and loving pets. In addition, White Shepherd fans have created their own club in order to improve breeding programs. The club holds its own shows and competitions, which many pet owners find beneficial, as otherwise they could not show their dogs.

Shepherds in this category are good watchdogs, trackers, and protectors. Due to their athletic, muscular builds, they also excel in sports. They can be used to herd other animals as well, and for this reason are often seen on cattle farms or ranches. Because they are so active, it is important for owners of such dogs to ensure that they have a suitable area in which to run and play on a daily basis.

Similar to their darker colored relatives, they are quite reliable and are usually have an even temper. This is why such dogs are often trained as service canines. They are especially good at helping to care for individuals who are blind or have other handicaps. Because they are easy to train, they are used as police dogs on a regular basis.

The aforementioned dogs are large, and stand approximately 26 inches tall. Their length is usually a few inches longer than their height, and they are strong and muscular. However, their size does not prohibit them from being ideal family pets, and they are typically cautious and careful around youngsters.

Similar to traditional dogs in this category, this type of Shepherd is at a higher risk for certain hereditary health problems. These include hemophilia, dysplasia of the hip or elbow, and eczema. Such dogs also have a tendency to develop epilepsy and keratitis, the latter of which is an inflammatory disorder of the eye. However, these disorders are more rare than those listed above.

When searching for White German Shepherds for sale, is important for consumers to select a breeder carefully. Doing business with a person whose kennels appear unclean or crowded, or who attempts to meet the prospective customer in a location other than where the animals are kept is never a good idea. Fortunately, trustworthy breeders are not difficult to find, and essentially any animal lover will be happy with the pleasure such a pet brings to his or her home.
