Oh Jeanne, what a perfect set of ears and his facial markings are just absolutely lovely (errrrrr handsome for the lil boy dog lol).
We had two big boy white shepherd's growing up. They were fantastic dogs and one had the biggest ears! I used to worry the wind would take him away LOL.
Can't believe how big that pup has gotten in such a short time!
I don't have any pics handy, but I've got a five year old male named Jess. He's a horse! We literally give him a horse trough to drink out of. Keep him at home on the farm, though, not here at school. But he's every girls dream... the only man he likes is my dad. He does fine with women and children, but, boy, does he get protective when I'm around other guys...
Lynn, I know what you mean about being "every girls dream" as far as a dog goes. I got more than I bargained for with this breed, in a good way ofcourse. I can say nothing wrong about Zeus, he is very very intelligent, obedient, house trained, never chews things he should not, destroys nothing, very loveable.... amazing dog and awesome breed.

That's exactly what you would call it. Although not accepted in the conformation rings, White German Shepherds are just another color variation of the German Shepherd Dog. The first dog to ever make a German Shepherd was all white. It was called the Alsatian Wolf Hound. Some how, during WWII, and the reign of Hitler, he ordered all of the white dogs to be put down. The genetics of German Shepherds is very similar to that of the BP's we talk about a lot. The white is an example of a Co-Dom gene. Black/Tan, Black/Red, Black and Sable are all recessive traits. Two Black/Tans can give you an all white dog. If you breed a white to a Black/Tan (not very highly accepted either) you'll get about half whites and the other half black/tans with a small possibility for a black or a sable. Two whites though will always yeild 100% white.
Wow, lots of us Shepherd owners here! I've got a cross (with big floppy ears) and I definitely agree with what's been said about the breed. My Ozcar is an angel. The only thing he ever does even remotely wrong is picking tissue out of the garbage and eating it, but in the grand scheme of dog trouble, that's VERY minor, especially for being a pound puppy with a sordid past.
You guys have some very cute puppies!!

0.2 Degus - Miss Piggy and Tweek
