How are Shiloh Shepherds different from German Shepherds (GSDs)?
Shilohs and GSD’s share high intelligence, problem solving ability, and loyalty to their owners. Physically, Shilohs are larger than GSD’s, and lack the sloping topline and extreme angulation seen in many American GSD’s. Behaviorally, Shilohs tend to have lower prey and play drives than GSD’s. Of course this is a generalization, as some line have more drive than others. There are some Shilohs involved in SAR, therapy dog, agility, service dog, and obedience work, but in general are more suited to being companion dogs as opposed to working dogs.
