@chickentrains good breeder or bad?
I'm thinking good because their dogs have pedigrees linked, most have show titles, dogs are health tested, and the questions on their puppy application seem good

White swiss shepherd dogs-

They’re so pretty
That’s all the info I have

More info right here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Swiss_Shepherd_Dog

They are basically white German Shepherds. The Germans would not accept white in the German Shepherd breed. But some Americans started breeding them in white, then some of the white ones were taken to Switzerland, and they were eventually recognized as a separate breed.

Aren't there white GSDs? Or are those just 'designer' dogs

Quote from wikipedia:
"Although white coated German Shepherds have been known in Europe as early as 1882, in 1933 the breed’s standard was amended in their native Germany, banning white coated dogs from registration. In the United States and Canada the coloration had gained a following and in 1969 a breed club was formed specifically for white coloured German Shepherds, calling their variety the White Shepherd."

I have another question: what would you suggest for dog nail clippers? My Mom is looking to order off of Amazon, so what would be the best off of there?

Miller’s Forge are AMAZING! They cut like butter LOL the orange ones.

There’s actually three separate “white Shepherd” type breeds. The White Swiss is technically considered a separate breed now and they’re not supposed to be crossed but people do it. But their temperaments are quite different from just a white GSD. There is also White Shepherd from UKC.

Ok great
Now to move to Colorado when I’m an adult and pray that they’re still breeding by then
