Are Shiloh Shepherd Dogs recognized by kennel clubs?
The Shiloh Shepherd is a rare breed of dog that is still under development. Developed in the 1970s, they are meant to resemble an older variety of German shepherd. Shilohs are not recognized by any major kennel club, but may be shown in rare breed organizations. Shilohs are larger and have a straighter back than most modern Alsatians and are bred for intelligence, size and stable temperaments. Their coats can be a variety of colors and color mixes. They compete in obedience, and agility. They work as therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, livestock guardians and service assistance. Unlike other shepherd dogs, Shilohs are not prone to problems with hip dysplasia. This is not to say that Shilohs do not ever develop dysplasia, but responsible breeders seek to eliminate this condition from the genepool through breeding stock screening using OFA[1] or Pennhip[2] radiographs.
