What is the difference between a pet quality Shiloh and a show or breeding quality Shiloh?
Each registry has its own rules governing this issue. You need to check the rules of the various registries for specifics. But in general, a pet quality Shiloh should be a healthy, loving, temperamentally stable companion for you and your family–the same as a show or breeding quality Shiloh would be. The difference being pet quality puppies usually sell for less because they have what are termed in the show/breeding world as one or more conformation faults. A conformation fault is one that affects the physical appearance of the dog but does not affect its health or temperament. Sometimes a puppy is sold as pet if the breeder sees something in the temperament that would rule it out as a breeding dog. Sometimes a pet quality Shiloh has no conformation fault, but is simply sold as a pet quality puppy because there is no breeding home available at that time for the puppy to go to.
