THE HISTORY

CLICCA IN ORDER TO VISUALIZE IT HERE

Lively, athletic, tenacious it, much resistant one to the hard work, full load of wants of to learn, much sensitive one to smells and every risen of noise: these are qualit typical of the Shepherdesses Swiss White man. In effects, in spite of the international denomination, draft of varying white woman of the Shepherdesses German (gene "C" manifest recessivo that only in shape omozigote, than cause the white man of the color of the mantle with maintenance for of dark pigment of eyes and mucuse... without other problematic ones of morphologic type or behavioural). And therefore it has the same behavioural characteristics of its "black-focato greater brother"; a lot attacked its capobranco, to the children and to the familiar nucleus in a generalized manner and it has a protecting attitude in the comparisons of all us that it re-enters in its territorial within: this its detached territorial spirit and this its great devozione for the human being and the family derives from its natural instinct and from its ancient employment, than manifested in the centuries in the living constantly to flank of the human being.   In primordiale age the man was substantially a hunter of large prede for survival reasons. And from the vicinity to the he-same man it found survival reason, in how much it was nourished of the rests of the great hunted mammals. Then the man divenne Shepherdesses and he accett, always for survival reasons,   Shepherdesses like its "capobranco". I learn to cooperate with the man for the conduction and the guard of the "flock". Obviously she had to develop one clear tendency of supremacy on the flock to the aim to conquer a place of I privilege to the inside of this it arranges.  

The Shepherds White men came use you like dogs from conduction and protection of the flock especially   on plateaus and innevate hills of northern Europe and continental (with climate moderate-cold), where these dogs had the possibilit of to camouflage itself with the surrounding atmosphere and where they could protect the flock from attack external of lupi and other predators easy identifiable perch of color different is regarding the atmosphere that to the same flock.   With the development of agriculture and the propriet agricultural divenne less and less "conductor of flock" and frequently always devout "guardiano of the propriet".   From true Shepherdesses it has innata tendency to re-unite and protect. He has much temperament, learns a lot fastly, but he has need of being trained with costanza, motivating it and stimulating it for what ago, poich he has the tendency to be bored equally easy.
Less nervous E' of puts into effect them Shepherdesses German and it does not love a lot to bark: respect to other dogs introduce a remarkable one variet of sounds, (beyond to bark. guaiti and howls) that they on loan seem to have been taken from the common ancestors of List of dog breeds, "the Lupo"), variable to varying of its state of mind. It has one mimica you make them much varied one: you will often see to express joy, dissatisfaction, doubt, melancholy... anger!!  

We said that the confidence in the master much fort, cos like much fort its attachment to all the family. Its manifestations of affection are to excessive times!! In the comparisons of the external world, of the other persons and the other animals it appears sometimes curious, but distaccato, never frightening or sure excessive aggressive. (made exception for the males who often stretch to the dominanza on other males whom they meet... of whichever Race.) The Shepherdesses Swiss White man has a protecting attitude to the inside of the family that its comes considered to all the effects "branco".
In order to avoid problems that could rebel in future, bisogner clearly to establish a precise hierarchy to the house inside, than the dog dovr necessarily to recognize and to accept for its future equilibrium. The cucciolo it has the highest one capacit of learning and observation, and just in this period that necessary to demonstrate itself   particularly sensitive and supervising. The cucciolo it must socialize devout the possible one and it must be stimulated with the just caution, In this phase it has need to know all the types of sound and noise and must be able to fiutare various types of odore.  

The group donates serenit and stabilit the dog which, having an established role very and for null ambiguous, vivr in balanced way. To such purpose we remember that conditionings and systems will have to be privileged of I reinforce positi to you bases to you on ricompensa and the game. The firmness to only become necessary in case of excessive tendency to the dominanza. One remembers finally that the coercion and the violence are not synonymous of autorit for those people that they use these practical. The dog obeys for fear and not for pleasure. This "obsolete" system of training and education creates in along period submit-afraid dogs excessive apati to us (if the subjects are equip you of insufficient temperament...)   or quite iperirritabili and iperaggressivi dogs if to the contrary draft of subjects with high hardening and high temperament. If you will succeed to maintain to yours autorit with the Shepherdesses Swiss White man without coercion and without to use reinforces denied (this speech to you pu to extend to all the breeds), you will not never arrive at critical moments "us" of relationship.   To this right point to make of the precisazioni and the distinctions, affinch is not run the risk to find the own expectations insoddisfatte. It is necessary therefore to hold well to mind the being followed points:   - the Shepherdesses Swiss White man risks the extinction poich for years was the wrong sideboard that White man was synonymous of biological alterations or albinism. Many European breeders of beginning century soppressero the puppys that were white men in the color of the mantle. The color white man was not in fact online with the cultural expectations and i desires of the German Bourgeoisie of first of the nine hundred, which idealizzava a dog dark, with orecchie possibly erected and an aspect similar to the lupo that it had (also for the color.) to incutere fear and respect.  

The Shepherdesses German divenne the pride of the entire Germany and all the German Bourgeoisie of those years, and from dog from Shepherdesses, trasform in short supervising time in careful and guardiano of the propriet (also city...)
- the history of the Shepherdesses White man be all to ollow itself of sad epiloghi and evident perpetrated ingiustizie because of "intégriste positions" from one sparuta minority of human ignoring, arrogating and presuntuosi beings. Because of these events obvious that the development of the Race sub one strongly rest at the beginning of the 900. The little "survivors" of Shepherdesses German White man came import to you in Canada and the States United to work of some amatori of the Race at the beginning of the century. These persons raised and developed the Race leaving from little exemplary. And therefore obvious that to serve other time in order to stabilize in optimal way the Selection of the Race.   - to difference of the Shepherdesses German still not worked on the separation of the lines (beauty - job).   - in some subjects, they could be observed   characteristics in the behavior tending devout to the "primordiale dog" and the lupoide rather than to the "city dog".   And therefore to times (fortunately not often...) imbatte to us in   extremely timid subjects, frightening in the comparisons of the external world (fear of the automobiles, the city noises, of people stranger, the novit in a generalized manner...); subjects that, leave you in house alone, they have destructive tendencies like eating the chairs, divani, taken of the current, quite intonaco of the walls. All this to of l of the training... and the imprinting, even if however possible to take part with a program of education to D.O.C. or, to prevent, in part, these problematic inquiring itself preventively near persons characterized on the Race before to acquire a subject with one sure genealogia.  

Fortunately the testimonies of persons remained "spiazzate" from subjects are little cos difficult to manage. For this we advise you to inform to you near our Club of Race for having information preventive and detailed on the lines of blood and the possible ones problematic psycho-physical in which us it could be imbattere with the new one arrived. Particular cases to part, of the rest common for List of dog breeds, we are sure that the Shepherdesses Swiss White man sar source of great joy and satisfaction from part of all you!! Insomma the launch challenge! We will see the judgment of gets passionate to you and of the experts. Sure the next years will decree sure the happened one of this splendid Race!!
