Developed in the 1990s by American breeders Shelley Watts-Cross and David Turkheimer. Created by crossing American German Shepherds with Shiloh Shepherds and later infusing Great Pyrenees and Alaskan Malamute to create a larger, healthier, more robust shepherd with improved temperament. Recognized by the American King Shepherd Club and United Kennel Club.
