why did disney decide make bolt a white shirpherd

yea u could just tell disney wanted to make a german shepered type dog thats why they went with the amercian white shepered insead of the german sheperd german shepereds have all ready been tested in popularty in animations look at all dogs go to heaven but disny wanted to spice it up because they probly thought white whoud be a more classical color and a more stand out color as well

Because those two breeds aren't lovable the way a German Shepherd is. GSD's are among the most popular dogs and Disney wanted something that would be well known.

i agree with humphreyalpha. i would also like to point out that disney wanted bolt to stand out from the background, because if he was to stay the original german shepherd color, people wont be able to see him in the grass as much, or the dirt especially. his white color makes him stand out more
