Mike Fernandez, Chairman, CEO quotes: “After a long flight the boys relax with Constance by the poolside. Lobo (2) and Oso (3) never leave our side. At 130 and 140 pounds respectively they have "command presence". When not with an immediate family member, these boys are never far and always looking out for us. Little do they know is that we are always looking out for them. Life is about creating memories and Shelley's boys are part of our family...at home, in the air, or anywhere”.

Chateau De Chief is an American King Shepherd Club (AKSC) Recommended Breeder.

The AKSC continues to forge ahead to improve and support the King Shepherd breed. The AKSC will not support any King Shepherd breeder who knowingly and consistently has "accidental breedings", regardless of their past status as a member or Board Member of the AKSC; and furthermore will not support any breeder who knowingly and actively supports a King shepherd puppymill.

*NOTICE - The AKSC considers the King Shepherd breed to be a work in progress (in development for improvement by the AKSC Recommended Breeders). The AKSC will not condone or be responsible for puppies/dogs acquired from individuals who have been dismissed (removed, discharged) from all AKSC privileges and who additionally mislead by stating "...by choice, we are not a member of nor a breeder recognized by the AKSC..."

A sound breeding program should be developed with mentors; those who have years of experience and extensive knowledge on the particular breed, behind them. A breeding program SHOULD NOT begin with minimal knowledge on the dogs, their background, and their conformation. Breeding is definitely not a "sport" that should be based on a whim.

Chateau De Chief cautions potential owners of King Shepherds from purchasing Kings from "so-called breeders" who

are not American King Shepherd Club (AKSC) Recommended Breeders or AKSC Recommended Member Breeders
are unethical breeders
do not support the King Shepherd Breed or the American King Shepherd Club
breed inferior specimens of the breed, i.e. faulty structure, head types and temperaments
do not breed to improve the King Shepherd, breed just for profit
breed two King Shepherds together just because they have access to two King Shepherds with no regard to type, temperament, soundness and size
