Hi Paulette That was said because the owner of the dog calls him a King Shepherd. Shame but when the owner says that it's a King and she's giving thousands of dollars to the organization (and her husband pays $200,000 for the float), then the reporters have to say that it's a King also. This is where we as GSD owners should come in to educate the public about the facts.

I couldn't believe it when someone on FaceBook commented that Johnny Cash is a fine representative of a King Shepherd. UGH! Happy New Year, my fellow Listers! I hope everyone is enjoying this New Year's Day!
