I hope I don't start another 'war' on the List....but.....
( Evan can check the timing on a 'Breed Standard war' for 2014)
.....I gotta say...  
I don't see how this float or breeder is doing anything to promote
the German Shepherd Dog and why some are happy about it?  I never
saw the float and have no opinion on if the dog was beautiful or 
not....( a beautiful dog is always a beautiful dog )  To me...It
is just another testimony to how far behind WE are in promoting the 
German Shepherd Dog Breed ourselves!
After checking out the web site as suggested....It appears to me to 
be self promotion of a breeder who LIKE SO MANY.. has gone off on 
promoting a specific fault in the Breed....even to the point of 
developing yet another "Breed Standard."   (surprise!)   <G>
She refers to them as a "King Shepherd BREED"...and even has her own
American King Shepherd Club.
Until we respect our own Standard and work to tighten up on our own 
German Shepherd Dog Breed Standard instead of "loosening it" to make 
even small faults more acceptable...and begin to promote the Breed 
as it is supposed to be..this type of promo will always continue to 
get more attention from the general public.
AH well......

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 don't have access to TV, so I didn't see the parade; however, I saw a 
picture of the float and it was gorgeous!
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!
