From the seller's website:

"We started with my original German Shepherd dog King Von Allen whom I aquired in 1996 from a breeder in San Diego County, His monther was form Germany and was world champion 26 years in a row."

Well at least I had a good laugh.
A champion for 26 years, in Germany.
Well I'm in Germany but never heard from her.

F.

You misspelled it!! It is Sherk the Oger King.

You're right!  Oh, wait--half right.  It's Shrek the Oger King.

Love it. 

And for people wanting to add long-lived dogs to their breeding program - how can you go wrong?! I might take the floppy ears if I could breed one that would be a Champion in Germany for 26 years in a row.

Tess,

On the website his name is Shrek, but on his page, they spell it Sherk.  The whole site is a joke.  The three bitches that are up and coming, to begin breeding in two years and their guard dog training in six months, are pictured, but the pictures are all of the same dog, taken with the same man, who needed to be wearing a lot more clothes for his online photo.  The site is full of horrendous spelling and grammar, and I can't believe that anyone would take him seriously, let alone rent one of his trained guard dogs by the hour, month, or anything else.  What's with the preoccupation with royalty?  Cartoon royalty, at that.

Sorry, I don't know what his pedigrees might be, but I've never seen any dog live for 26 years, let alone be a top dog for that long.  If they don't even know how long a dog lives, then I wouldn't get a dog from them.  No way, no how. 

As far as the floppy ears, I didn't see any of the dogs pictured that weren't being held really close by him, so I don't know if the dogs' ears are floppy, or if they just keep them back all the time due to his nature, maybe?  Either way, I'd run away from that place as far and as fast as I could.

And if he has dogs from Germany, isn't it customary for the dog to carry the kennel prefix, and any progeny to carry the Allen prefix?  I don't understand all of this, but I surely wouldn't take a dog from a top kennel in Germany and lob at it the moniker "Sherk the Oger King"/  Jeez, that was hard, misspelling that many words at once.

Don't worry, Crys, I was joking.  I actually thought ol' Sherk fit in nicely with the thread where some people are saying that titles mean nothing....it's a perfect example of what would happen to the breed if there weren't people out there trying to breed to the standard.

I hope Sherk finds a good home.

(Also maybe the misspellings are because English isn't his first language).

I know you were joking, Tess.  Actually, I think English is his first language, judging by the overall sense I get when trying to read it.  I think maybe he just has some issues trying to write in English.  I know a lot of people who write (and speak) that poorly, even though they have never learned to speak any other language (including English).

I know that you can't judge a book by its cover, but I know by the cover whether I even want to read it!

Crys

The picture brings back memories of that add with the dude in the thong!!  *shakes head*  Maybe the breeders should be Temperment and conformation tested before they're allowed to breed too... lol  OR AT LEAST BEFORE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO POST ADDS WITH THEIR PICTURES!! 

I've been to that site. It's a trip best gone on after a few beers.
