Awesome cross... call them Sibords I believe? Have 4 of them in my local dog club - all top obedience and agility dogs, and beautiful.

My trainer Karen Sadler bred a husky with a white german shepherd like mine for a TV commercial to get a wolf look a like. He is AWESOME... Old boy now, but an exceptional dog indeed. This is him below - "smiling" for camera

Too right, that's where my little dude came from. He picked me when I was looking - I got half way home and had turn the car around and adopt him. The coolest dog around - another pic just to prove it!

I know Karen well, used to live with her at one time in fact. One of my current dogs is bred by her, and my little grey girl was descended from her lines as well. The Sibe-Bords you are familiar with will all be related to my ratbags. You will see my little grey girl on Karen's website

Small world indeed. The pups and dogs I was refering to in my club were all bred by her too. Simply awesome dogs - and damn beautiful too! And she is a truely fantastic trainer. I have not been to her for the past year or so as I have been fighting to get my dogs back from the ex partner, but will be starting back with my white shepherd in her class next term at dog school. See if I can save some of the training in his head that i worked so hard on for 4 years.

I am going to stir up a hornets nest here.

I have just watched a doco about pedigree dogs (esp in england), and if there are any dog owners on here that have to have a certified blood line in their dogs i would like to impress upon you the very real need for you to realise the very great and real danger our dogs face due to inbreeding.

I will find a clip for you to watch in a minute.

Clip found part one.

Feel free to explore the other 5 parts of the documentary.

We love our dogs, please don't make them suffer unnecessarily because of our vanity

@katie, I am so happy you have your white shep, and i bet he/she is the best dog in the world (just like mine). In most countries if dogs are being bred for a pedigree a white shep, or a ridgeback without a ridge (1 in 8) would be euthanised.

Arr I've rambled enough, i'll go get the clip.

edit: I say enough of inbreeding our best friends to death. If my boy was still intact he'd be a a great mate for a shepherd girl. We would probably call the offspring a 'Shuntaway'

(sorry i didn't mean to hijack yer thread BD, but i am passionate about this)
