Atlas is our foundation white German Shepherd Dog. He was born February 28, 2002 at Eclipse White German Shepherds and came to live with us on April 20, 2002 at seven weeks old. He's everything we could want in a companion and a family member. Atlas is an outstanding example of a white German Shepherd Dog and we are proud of everything he has accomplished.

It's hard to describe the impact that Atlas has had on the white German Shepherd. He's done things that no other white German Shepherd has done before. Most notably

• He is the sire of the only American Kennel Club Champion and Canadian Kennel Club Champion German Shepherd with a white parent
• He is the only white German Shepherd ever to be the #1 German Shepherd dog (all colors) in the United Kennel Club (for 2005)
• He has ranked in the top ten of German Shepherds in the UKC for eight years running - longer than any other GSD (all colors)
• He has the most titles of any white German Shepherd in history
• He is the first white German Shepherd to earn a CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) number

Conformation is where Atlas really shines. He has earned ten championships, a National Specialty Best of Breed and Grand Victor (WGSDCII), a National Specialty Best Opposite Sex and Grand Victor (WGSDCA), ten Selects (six in WGSDCA and four in WGSDCII), a Best in Futurity win, a Best in Maturity win, NINE UKC Best in Multi-Breed Show wins and an ARBA Best in Show win for his outstanding looks and movement. If that weren't enough, he is the only white German Shepherd in history to be the #1 German Shepherd in the top ten dogs of United Kennel Club, which he did in 2005. He proved this wasn't a fluke by being the #2 GSD in the UKC in 2006, 2007 and 2008 and was also ranked in the top ten in 2003, 2004 and 2009. Even at eight years old, Atlas is the current #2 dog in the UKC for 2010. He also was the #1 dog in the White German Shepherd Dog Club of America for 2005-2008. Atlas has proven again and again that he is a gorgeous German Shepherd Dog with outstanding structure and breathtaking movement and he loves to show.


In addition to conformation, Atlas has trained and competed in obedience. He has several rally titles and one leg towards his AKC Companion Dog title. Atlas also competed in agility and earned his first NADAC title in November 2007 and has his Family Obedience title from the Dog Sports program of the United Kennel Club.

Atlas also has a very strong herding instinct. He earned one leg of his first herding title with no training and has taken herding lessons and he enjoys the sheep very much.

Atlas has produced twelve litters of outstanding puppies that seem to take after their dad in their structure, movement and instinct. His daughter Soli is an American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club champion as well as a UKC Grand Champion. He has many other offspring with conformation championships and they have won WGSDCA Best in Futurity, Best Opposite Sex in Futurity, Best in Maturity and Best Opposite Sex in Maturity. Atlas has been awarded the WGSDCA Register of Merit award for the acomplishments of his progeny in conformation. His offspring also excel in performance. The second most titled white GSD in history is his daughter Mira with over 35 agility titles and his daughter Indy has earned her AKC Utility Dog title in obedience.

There is no other white German Shepherd dog like Atlas. He is truly one of a kind and we hope he has many more years to amaze us!
