The BBS is recognized by the FCI as a separate breed from the White German Shepherd. The BBS is a dog breed from Switzerland that is gaining popularity in the United States as the ultimate family pet. The following information will explain why the Berger Blanc Suisse is the best breed EVER!

Origins
In the 1880’s German Shepherds were bred for their white coat in Germany. A dedicated white-coated breeding program was created during the beginning of the 20th century. Fast forward to the year 1999 when the UKC officially recognized the White Shepherd and the AKC recognized the German Shepherd breed. The Berger Blanc Suisse breed had to wait a few years later to be recognized. Finally, in 2001 The Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) accepted the BBS on a provisional basis. Years later the Berger Blanc Suisse breed was officially accepted in 2011. The BBS, White Shepherd, and white-coated German Shepherd all share origins. But, are now known as their own specific breed due to their slight differences and appearances.

BBS breeders within the United States personally import the breed from World Champion lineage. This assures the dogs remain true to their nature and exhibit unmatched loyalty, courage, devotion, and friendliness.

Generally, Berger Blanc Suisse females have an average height of between 22 and 24 inches while male BBS tend to be about two inches taller than the females. At maturity, females weigh between 55 to 77 pounds while males can weigh up to 88 pounds.
