Berger Blanc Suisse Alternative names White Shepherd Dog White Swiss Shepherd Dog White German Shepherd Weiße Schäferhunde Weisser Schweizer Schäferhund Country of origin Switzerland Common nicknames Snowy Shepherd Classification and breed standards FCI: Group 1 Section 1 #347 Stds UKC: Herding Dog Breeds Stds The Weisser Schweizer Schäferhund, or Berger Blanc Suisse, more commonly known as the White Swiss Shepherd, was often considered a mutation of the German Shepherd, until recently when it was finally considered a separate breed after years of campaigning from White Shepherd enthusiasts. Currently, this breed is only recognised by the FCI and the UKC, but more efforts are being made to give the breed worldwide recognition as a separate and distinct breed from the GSD.
