Look at my Avatar. Go on, take a peek. That is a picture of my white boxer dog, Dottie. I may be biased, but doesn't she look handsome? Doesn't she look cute?
Then why can't I show her? It is illegal to discriminate people for their colour of skin, but it's perfectly fine to disqualify a good-looking dog from a competition because 'it's not the right colour'.
I understand and know why they can't be bred - them being white, their puppies are probably going to be too, which can lead to blindness and deafness. And yes, I know that white boxers tend to be uglier than brindle / 'normal coloured' boxers. But what makes them so different? Even dogs that aren't totally white aren't allowed to compete - if they're over one third white, they can't take place. My dog isn't fully white - she has patches of brindle on both her skin and fur - but she can't compete.
There's also the topic of how come white boxers are never in boxer calendars - why do you think that is? I have no idea. But it's discrimination.
