White Swiss Shepherd, the working dog

These days this beautiful breed is mostly held as a fantastic family companion. Maybe doing some sports like dock diving, jumping hoops and other agility or putting the nose to work, like trailing, detection, trials, etc.

However the White Swiss Shepherds are like their common ancestors the German Shepherd Dog working dogs developed originally for herding and guarding sheep. And to proof this I found this 1906 cool post card of a public park down in Bruxelles-Laeken with a White Shepherd Dog!!!
