A shepherd-type family dog in pure white. Vigorous and obedient, especially friendly with children.
The White Swiss Shepherd Dog descends from white shepherd dogs that became a distinct type in the USA and Canada; early dogs were imported to Switzerland in the early 1970s, with the American-born male "Lobo" (1966) regarded as the breed's foundation sire there. Registered as a new breed in the Swiss stud book from June 1991, it is a muscular, erect-eared shepherd with a pure white double coat, vigorous and attentive yet never timid or aggressive, and especially friendly with children.
