What is the registration status today for white offspring produced by two standard-colored parents registered with the AKC?
Answer
They are generally not registrable as GSDs in organizations like the AKC or SV.
Prospective owners must understand the modern registration reality dictated by major clubs. If an owner seeks a dog with documented lineage traceable strictly through the American Kennel Club (AKC) or the German SV, they must choose a standard-colored German Shepherd. Any white puppy resulting from pairings within those registries is typically disqualified from being officially registered as a German Shepherd Dog within those specific organizations due to the established color exclusion.
