Blue German
Shepherds, along with Liver and White are
considered a
fault, according to AKC breed standards. And White
German Shepherd
Dogs are
recognized by the AKC as the American White Shepherd.

The poor dog, in life the firmest
friend,
The
first to welcome, foremost to defend
~Lord Byron
Temperament and health are much more
important in evaluating the breed.
Your German Shepherd should be approachable, but don't expect her to
make immediate friends with strangers. Please be aware that their
protective nature does require German Shepherd training
with a firm hand to prevent over-guarding.
The color of a dog is not an indicator of
either
excellent or poor health. While the AKC considers blue, liver and white
to be faulty GSD coat colors, this has no impact on the health of the
dog.
Choosing
your puppy carefully, using criteria other than color will
pay off ten-fold in the long run.
If you can resist treating a rich
friend
better
than a poor friend,
If you can face the world
without lies and deceit,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart
you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics,
Then, my friend, you are almost as good as your dog.
