Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Berger Blanc Suisse, White Shepherd
A gentle white shepherd with a watchful heart
The White Swiss Shepherd is a sensitive, intelligent all-round herding dog with a pure white double coat. It is loyal and eager to please, but it can be reserved with strangers and sheds heavily, so it needs early socialisation and regular brushing.
Last updated
This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Best-matched service
Yes, heavily all year and especially during the two coat changes. Regular brushing is essential, and you should expect white hair on furniture and clothes.
Yes, it is devoted and gentle with its family and usually good with children. It needs early socialisation and time with people, as it can be shy or wary of strangers.
It is not ideal. A large, active dog is happiest with a garden and long daily exercise, though it can settle indoors if its needs are met.
