UPS delivered some boxes today. Leah did not like that. Ruffed and barked, which is rare for her, and the hair on her back stood straight up. That was new. Not a fan of strangers.

Yes, very young in that first picture and not full grown in the other.

Here's a picture of him at a year and a half.. He grew into the ears a little bit



And he finally sits still enough to take pictures that aren't blurry

We have two dogs. I adopted Izzy, a Mutt (Beagle Mix) from the North Hollywood Animal Shelter back in 2002. She is going on 13 years old and is still very healthy. She's just a real good dog.

Dixie, our Beagle, was found on the street by my wife 3 years ago. She was malnourished and ill. She was obviously dumped. The dog literally followed my wife home. She's a bit retarded, more than likely a puppy mill dog, but we love her.

Be aware they are rather large dogs. Jet is long and lanky. Can put his paws on my shoulders and I'm 6'2". I paid $150 for him.

The sire of the litter is rather thick and heavy with some brown in his mane. Very sociable animal. Jet takes after the mom though (other than temperament), he's a spitting image. When I bought him I asked to see her. They asked if I was sure Pfff, I'm not scared dogs. They had me wait while double checking the status of her logging chain. I was then escorted down the driveway. When I looked around the corner of the house what I saw about 8 feet away can only be described as Godzilla. Just a mass of huge white teeth, slathering tongue, and insane vocals. I spent about 3 seconds checking her out before disappearing back down the driveway. She wanted no part of my pleasantries and I didn't want her to injure herself.

There is variation in the breed. Some are solid black like Jet, some are blonde, and some a combination of the two. Check out google images for "King Shepherd" and I don't doubt you can find a look you prefer. You'll also get an idea as to the size these dogs can reach.

Have had big dogs my whole life. Always GSDs. Biggest was 112lbs. Didn't know much about King Shepherds. I love that they are huge and look like GSDs.

I'm guessing genetically, they are mostly GSD. Noticed a lot of them are long coated too.

I have an all black GSD now. She looks amazing. All my others have been black and tan.
