To be a true albino, the dog would have to have pink eyes. Albinism is a total lack of pigment everywhere in the body.

German Shepherd Dogs with white coats are not accepted by many kennel clubs, particularly the AKC. Despite this, the snowy shepherd has a worldwide following that is pushing to have it recognized as a separate breed or as a viable color for the GSD. There are two clubs in North America that promote the white German Shepherd.

The white GSD has nearly the same standard as the regular GSD, except, of course, for the color. In addition, to differentiate the dog from an albino, a white German Shepherd should have dark eyes and black lips, eyelids, foot-pads and nose, with dark nails. Black, blue or gray skin is desirable.

White supposedly adversely affects a dog's working abilities. A white dog blends in with sheep or goats, lessening its visibility and herding effectiveness. Also, a white coat stands out against a grassy or brushy hillside, making the dog an easy target for prey animals.

So basically apart from having to put sun screen on the ears and perhaps bathing her/him more the White German Shepherd is no different to any other colour, it isn't possible to get an Albino as they have pink eyes whereas the dog your talking about only as white fur. It's a common mistake.
