White Swiss Shepherd Dogs (WSSD)
The white Swiss shepherd dog is not a white Alsatian, nor a white German shepherd dog. It is a separate
breed, although the German shepherd is a forerunner of the White Swiss.
German
shepherds (formerly called Alsatians) originated in Germany, but the white Swiss
Shepherd dog was developed in neighbouring Switzerland & USA. The white gene
may have come from a sheepdog, way back in the ancestry. German shepherd
breeders liked the black & tan dogs, rejecting any white pups among the
litter, but fanciers of the whites started to breed them & the white dogs
became a separate breed. They have been called Berger
Blanc Suisse (French)

| We can picture the White Swiss
Shepherd at work, rounding up the farm animals and leading them to and
from the pastures. King David of Israel said, "God is my shepherd!
I will want for nothing. He leads me to pasture and water." Psalm
23 |
