Watch the birth of Polarbear puppies. These are actually a rare breed of German Shepherd dog called the White Shepherd.
The White Shepherd Dog (previously called the White Canadian Shepherd) emerged from white coat lines of the German Shepherd Dog.
The White Shepherd breed was officially recognized by the United Kennel Club on April 14, 1999. It was awarded provisional recognition as a breed by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale on November 26, 2002 as the Berger Blanc Suisse.
Provisional was changed to official recognition on July 5, 2011 and the Berger Blanc Suisse breed is eligible for CACIB as of July 6, 2011. It is often mistaken for a white swiss shepherd, but they have been recognized as a separate breed by the FCI. White shepherds often have longer fur than the traditional shepherd, but do not always have a second coat
The White Shepherd has a distinct personality marked by self-confidence. The breed is poised, but when the situation demands, it is eager, alert and ready to serve in any capacity. White Shepherds demonstrate both herding and protective instincts.
With those he knows, the White Shepherd is open and friendly. With strangers, he is observant and may be somewhat aloof but not apprehensive. They enjoy running, playing fetch or any activity with their human family. This is a joyful, active, intelligent and easy to train working dog with the ability to adapt and integrate to all kinds of social events and situations.Timidity in a mature dog or aggressive behavior is not typical of this breed.
White Shepherds are very loyal and tend to be especially protective of the young of various species. With their playful and curious personalities, they make wonderful companions although some do have the tendency toward being quite vocal by exhibiting whining, grunting, and moaning. (Wikipedia)

I love coming and watching the puppies interact. You can already tell the dominate one. When they get into position to sleep it's just a riot it's like they are playing "pig pile" lol... but I do wonder if they have been treated with dewormer yet a few of them by their behavior seems they may need to be or they are just doing the drag your butt across the floor as some dogs do????
What is the mark on the right cheek of one of the pups face? Is it dirt, a marking or some type of wound?????????????
