History
The White Shepherd is a direct descendant of the German Shepherd Dog. In the first half of the twentieth century, German cavalry officer Max von Stephanitz, created the German Shepherd Dog using a variety of German sheepdogs as his foundation stock. Initially, colour was not considered as long as the dog demonstrated working ability. During the late 30s, however, the white colour fell into disfavour.
There were, however, always breeders who appreciated the beauty of the white dogs and who continued to breed them. Because of their exclusion from most German Shepherd Dog breeding programs, the whites rather quickly evolved into a distinct type, and eventually into a separate breed.

Only kennels with active White Shepherds who are actively competing or intending to breed them will be added to the kennel registry.

Instagram // Tumblr Only Kennels
Our job is to maintain the registry for the SIKC, as such, we do not feel that registering dogs from Instagram or Tumblr only kennels/breeders is necessary and in accordance with the SIKC's preference for their currency not being used for IG/Tumblr we will not be accepting registration fees from those who have empty accounts there with no intention to actually participate in the SIKC.
Standard
The White Shepherd is a medium-sized, well-balanced, muscular dog, slightly longer than tall, with a medium length, pure white coat, erect ears, and a low-set natural tail that normally reaches to the hock and is carried in a slight curve like a saber. The outline of the White Shepherd is made up of smooth curves rather than angles. Gender differences are readily apparent.
​
​The White Shepherd has a distinct personality marked by self-confidence. The White Shepherd is poised, but when the situation demands, is eager and alert, ready to serve in any capacity. White Shepherds demonstrate both herding and protective instincts. With those he knows, the White Shepherd is open and friendly.
