The King Shepherd Dog is not a breed, but a mix of large dogs, not recognized by AKC. While there was once a standard and goal for breeding King Shepherds, and most of the original breeders were doing PennHip testing, things have changed. The focus for Kings today seems to be only size. This does not match with my goals and I have now retired Mawenzi at age 5. Mawenzi had great health and disposition, and she produced some wonderful litters for me. It is time for Mawenzi to just enjoy life as a treasured pet. Shasta is now 9 years old and enjoying retirement. LIMANI IS OUR FUTURE! She is a Bohemian Shepherd who produced a fantastic litter with my King AUGUSTUS! Limani will only be breed for Bohemian Shepherd pups in the future. Limani is sweet and outgoing and wants to be everyones friend. Limani is also the most alert dog I have ever known and an extreme hunter of small rodents and birds.
