Bathing your Pet
Remember when you bathe your pet to make certain their ears are dried thoroughy. Water left in the ears can lead to ear infections and result in costly vet visits.
Handle the Paws
Remember to stroke, play and touch your puppy's paws as much as possible. This will keep your puppy used to having his paws handled which results in easier grooming of nails, removal of items stuck in paw pads and doctoring injured pads.

According to the WGSDCA Web Page, 2002
DID YOU KNOW? White German Shepherds can do just as much as a dark German Shepherd. There were White German Shepherds working at the
Taking the side of the White German Shepherd is Dorothy Crider, a former actress, breeder, and trainer for motion pictures and TV, boldly stated, "I have owned and trained white and dark German Shepherds for twenty-seven years. The difference lies in the individual animal, not the coat color." Her White German Shepherd dog, White Shadow Crider, appeared in one-hundred and sixty eight films; he also won an award for best actor dog.
In conclusion, White German Shepherds deserve the right to stand along side a colored German Shepherd not only in the working fields, but in the AKC conformation show ring and gene pool. These dogs have proven that they have nothing to fault. A simple comparison could be to use the white and black human race. Years ago, blacks were considered inferior, or faulted, due to their skin color. Today, we know that black people are the same as any other race, with the exception of only skin color. Years ago, during the Hitler era, white-coated German Shepherds were seen as inferior to the colored German Shepherd. Today, white-coated German Shepherds, with the exception of coat color, have proven they truly are the same as colored German Shepherds.
So, why is there still discrimination present today? Where do we go from here? What do we do to rectify this discrimination? First and foremost, of course, is education! Not Bible-thumping, yell in their face type of education. Stand proud and be noticed in the public - get out there and work your dog. Then, with respect and love for your dog, state the facts. Show them your passion of this breed. Let that passion convey the message! And last but not least, a wise woman once told me that friendship will always overcome prejudice. So get out there in the dog world, socialize, and make friends - changes in attitude will follow!
