As of 2008, the term White German Shepherd is used to describe a member of any of several variants of domestic dog descended from German Shepherd Dogs and German Shepherd types. Usage is emotionally charged and contentious for several reasons.

This article will outline the history of the development of White Shepherds, explore the issues surrounding the naming of these variants, and list the generally-accepted variants. Readers will be referred to individual breed articles for specific discussions.
