What coloration is ideally expected for the eyes, nose leather, and paw pads of a White Shepherd?

Dark, often black

A critical identifier distinguishing a White Shepherd from a dog with albinism relates directly to the pigmentation of the non-hair tissues. For a White Shepherd adhering to established standards recognized by clubs that accept the color, the eyes, the nose leather, and the paw pads should ideally exhibit dark pigmentation, most commonly black. This indicates that while the gene responsible for the coat color affects the hair shafts by preventing pigment expression there, the underlying pigmentary system remains fully functional in other areas of the body. The presence of dark pigment in these areas confirms normal physiological function rather than the complete lack of melanin seen in true albinism.
