Image Credits : WildMomo24 on Deviant Art Phantom stands a towering 24 inches at the shoulders which is the tallest a female German Shepherd can grow . Phantom weighs approximately 71 pounds which outweighs some of her male K-9 friends that weigh around the 60 pounds .
Phantom has a straight Jett black coat as shown in the photo which is a medium length naturally but is kept in a short easy to keep coat. Her undercoat is thick so she needs moderate grooming to get it out all the loose undercoat in the summer especially. Her fur is nice to touch but is quite wiry and coarse which helps her to withstand cold nights if she has to and to keep warm during these nights. Her long tail has no plume and is straight with a slight curl upwards at the tip.
Phantom has a lean but muscular build almost like what build you see as an athletic human. She has a long back with a moderate depth muscular chest which means that it does not reach her elbows unlike what is seen in deep chested dogs. Her chest is also quite narrow which means her legs are closer together than barrel or oval chests. Her legs and paws are the final feature we need to talk about here. Her legs are neither long or short but are in between, her paws are the shape of cat's, these help with her endurance and stability.
Phantom's face is quite adorable when she is not working as she does a face where she relaxes her ears so they droop slightly,tilts her head and opens her mouth slightly with her tongue hanging out so she looks like a huge happy black Scottish fold. A way carrying on. Phantom's head is quite broad,and her skull at the top is a slight domed shape .Next her almond eyes are a beautiful deep brown not really standing out against her black fur therefore looking like she has black eyes. She has no neck ruff on her moderately sized neck. Phantom also has a shiny black nose and a mouth that is usually open, panting or doing her trademark face that makes most people laugh. Lastly her broad tall ears that look like bat's ears have no fringe at all and are pricked upwards unless she makes them droop slightly, the point on her ears are slightly rounded.
Phantom has different accessories depending on Whether she is working or not . When she is not working , she usually sports either a purple or black collar with a gold bone ID tag that states Phantom's name, Handler's name and handler's number or and she wears a white bandana with dog head silhouettes on it . Her lead is usually black with Batman symbols on it .
When she is working , she wears a black harness with white lettering usually "Do Not Touch" or "K-9 Unit ". She wears a black collar with a silver ID tag in the shape of a police badge that says
Phantom
K-9 Unit
Owned By (Insert Handler's Name)
(Handler's Number).
She doesn't wear anything fancy, like her non-work. She loves her k-9 uniform and gets excited when it is put on.

Personality:
Courageous - Phantom is one of those dogs that will have a go at anything ,even through her pain or the sight of danger. If her handler is in danger , she will do anything to help them.
Trustworthy- You can always trust that Phantom will always be by your side no matter what situation, just trust her and she will trust you.
Loyal- She is extremely loyal to her handler and to the people at the K-9 unit although she will need time to get to know them of course . When she knows them , she will stick to their side and will never leave it.
Can be over protective - Growls at people she doesn't know as she sees them as a threat to her handler or people she is loyal to at the K-9 Unit.
Strengths:
Sense Of Smell- As she is a tiny percentage of bloodhound and a massive amount of German Shepard , both dog breeds with an amazing sense of smell,Her sense of smell is very good.
Obedient-Phantom knows if her handler says a command , she must obey it, she knows that the command is there for a reason whether it is to keep her from a criminal for a tiny bit, or to get her adrenaline up so she works a little harder.
Intelligent- Despite her being goofy at times, Phantom is usually especially in work ,intelligent and on the ball. She knows many commands,both in English and German although she responds best when commands are said in German, also in a dangerous job, it means that many criminals won't understand what the handler is telling the dog to do. Some of her commands said in German are "Halt" ,which means Stop, "Festhalten" which means hold on, a command used for gripping onto the criminal's clothes or arm. Then last German command example is "sicher" which mean safe, this commands insure that she comes and sits either by the handler or between the handlers legs.
Physical Strength- Phantom is actually muscular despite her looks deceiving that she is quite lean. Her bite force is 253, between the averages of a German Shepard Bite Force and she is a able to knock a man flat if she runs fall pelt into him.
Weaknesses:
Children - Young children, Phantom can not tolerate, this is not known why but an interaction with small children and infants shouldn't be allowed unless you want your child traumatised.Although with gentle strokes where she can see the older children with supervision, she loves them giving her attention although the handler has to call the, off if they notice her lip starting to curl.
Cats- Phantom will bark non stop if she sees a cat and may even chase it until it goes somewhere she can't get to or is corned and petrified . She can be called off the poor cat with a strong firm command , "halt" which is german for stop or a string grab to her K-9 harness or her collar.
Over-excitable - When Phantom is too over excited and high on adrenaline, she becomes clouded in her judge the and her training and is quite unpredictable and also she barks a lot so the handler needs to monitor how hyped up she is.
