- Description:
- The Shiloh Shepherd is a modern American type created to produce a larger, calmer German Shepherd-style companion. It is not recognized by AKC, CKC, or UKC in this table. Lines vary; treat each kennel as its own program.
- Temperament:
- These dogs are typically people-oriented and less sharp than some working German Shepherds. They are still giant herding-type dogs and need training and space.
- Training:
- Start early and keep the rules clear. A giant that is allowed to lean on people becomes hard to live with.
- Care & Grooming:
- Brush weekly, more often when the undercoat blows. Grow puppies slowly.
- Shedding:
- Seasonal and heavy.
- Health:
- As with other giant shepherd types, hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and degenerative myelopathy can occur. Ask for health testing rather than a romantic history.
- Lifespan:
- 9–14 years
- Litter Size:
- 6–10 puppies
