About us and the secret to our amazing dogs. We believe breeding for health and temperament should take priority over breeding for show and appearance. We don't cage or kennel our dogs and we produce a limited number of puppies each year from the best of our lines.
Polarbear™ White Shepherd's reputation is built upon a philosophy pioneered in 1999 when we developed our unique brand of dog and methods for placing them with the right owners. Simply put, we made health, temperament, and genetic diversity, our number one priority. We decided early on that this was more important than the short-sighted aims of show breeders whose sole focus is appearance and selling to anyone. As a result of our strategy or "scientific approach", the longevity and popularity of our dogs is undisputed.
What makes our dogs so different from any other white German shepherd dog?
Our dogs, or "Polarbears™", are natural empaths which makes them highly intuitive and the closest to a "human with fur" that you will ever find in a dog. Our Polarbears™ have amazing vocabularies and only have to be told once what you want them to do. These are the most intelligent dogs you will ever meet. They just understand. The temperaments of our dogs make them the "total package" in a dog. Most dogs, in the shepherd breeds, tend to be aloof and wary of strangers. Our dogs, on the other hand, are friendly and sociable, as long as they are well socialized as puppies. They make ideal guard dogs and will not hesitate to put their lives on the line should the situation warrant it. Their calm temperament makes them ideal indoor dogs and the playful, retrieval abilities make them entertaining as outdoor companions. One other distinction our dogs are known for? You guessed it... they love water... just like their namesake, the Polar Bear! And is there any better dog to watch the children? No. Our white shepherds are completely trustworthy, making them ideal "nannies" to even the smallest child.
The appearance of our dogs is striking. They have beautiful, superior quality, short, arctic-white coats, and dark pigmented noses and are ideal indoor dogs because they shed less than their longer coat cousins. They are extra-large in size. Our males average between 100-120#, and females between 70-90#. So if you want that beautiful, large, indoor dog, that sheds less than their longer coat cousins and do well in warmer weather... its a Polarbear™ dog!
If you've never purchased a dog online before, remember, "the most important decision in purchasing a dog is purchasing the right dog." In this day and age, you do not need to find one locally. You may, however, need to do your homework, especially if you found a new breeder. Many of these first-time breeders try to replicate our philosophy. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. Don't be fooled, however, there is only one Polarbear™ Dog. Likewise, don't be fooled by "the intellectuals" or breeders who rely upon blue ribbon trophies, hips and elbow evaluations, and special certificates to sell their dogs. The only proof you need from us is the nearly twenty year history we have of producing White German Shepherd dogs with superior health and longevity.
