DescriptionThe King Shepherd is a large breed. According to the American Rare Breeds Association males stand at over {{convert|29|in|cm}} tall and should have an ideal weight of {{convert|130|to|150|lbs}} pounds while females are {{convert|27|in|cm}} tall and ideally {{convert|90|to|110|lbs}}.[1] The build of this dog is muscular, long, and robust; the structure is solid. The head is in good proportion with the body and moderately wide between the eyes. The forehead is slightly rounded. The cheeks are not too full and moderately curved when viewed from the top. The thick, firm ears are medium-sized and moderately wide at base. The eyes are medium-sized and almond shaped. The shades of the eyes can be varying shades of brown ranging from golden brown to almost black. The chest is broad and deep. Thickly feathered, the tail reaches at least to the hocks and is slightly curved. Docked tails are inadmissible. Paws are round and short with a well closed arch. The pads are very hard. The nails are short, strong, and dark-colored. Dewclaws are usually removed. The King Shepherd comes with a wide range of colors: Sable, black saddle with tan, gold, cream, and tan or silver markings. Pale washed-out colors are serious faults. The undercoat has little color except in solid black dogs. White, blue, or liver colored dogs or a dog with a nose that is other than black are not accepted in the show ring. Puppies change color until their final coat. There are two coat varieties: plush-haired and long-haired.[1] TemperamentThe King Shepherd is self-confident with a well-balanced personality and healthy nervous system. They should not exhibit any shyness or nervousness. They are extremely intelligent, easy to train and eager and faithful to please their owners. This breed makes a fine sheep-herder and working dog. They are also a naturally courageous guard and watchdog, showing courage, strength, and hardiness in their role of protector. They make very nice companions and are friendly to other animals and children.[2] CareKing Shepherds are very intelligent and energetic, and needs both challenging mental stimulation and plenty of exercise. The King Shepherd takes well to strenuous activity.{{cn|date=May 2015}} OriginTwo American dog breeders, Shelly Watts-Cross and David Turkheimer, created this large breed from the Shiloh Shepherd (American and European German Shepherd Dogs[3] and Alaskan Malamutes), with additional American-bred German Shepherd Dogs.
