You've bought a White Swiss Shepherd and you want to get into sports. Great! Well, except that, because they are not AKC (American Kennel Club) recognized, it can be hard to figure out what venues to compete in for a given sport. Well, we took the difficulty out of this issue for you by creating this list of American organizations which allow White Swiss Shepherds to compete as a breed separate from the German Shepherd Dog.
