King Shepherd

History: The King Shepherd is a very new breed only dating back to 1995. Developed by American dog breeders, Shelley Watts-Cross and David Turkheimer, the King Shepherd is a cross between German Shepherds of American descent, Alaskan Malamutes, Great Pyrenees and then re-crossed to German Shepherds of European descent. The overall result is a very large majestic looking German Shepherd. One of the advantages of this breed is that it addresses many of the inherent health problems characteristic of the German Shepherd such as elbow dysplasia.
