All dogs at Cascade Kings are a part of the family and live in our home with us. We believe health and temperament are of the upmost importance and all our dogs are health tested including hips, elbows, heart and DNA through Embark Vet.

What is a King Shepherd?
​
​A King Shepherd is a breed still in development that resembles a large over-sized German Shepherd without the severe rear angulation, possesses thick, dense bone and a shorter, wider muzzle with an impressive head and calmer temperament and has less health problems than German Shepherds. The King Shepherd is an intelligent, gentle dog with a lower drive, yet still protective of family that excels at all type of work.
The breeds used in the development of The King Shepherd are European German Shepherds, Shiloh Shepherds (another rare breed dog), Alaskan Malamutes, and Akita's.
