The Shiloh Shepherd is the modern version of the old German Shepherd. It is a rare breed of dog that is still under development. Although not recognized by the AKC, the dog has its own registry along with other clubs and associations that also provide registration options. The dog is bred for intelligence, size and stable temperaments.
These dogs compete in obedience, agility and tracking. They also work as therapy dogs, livestock guardians, search and rescue dogs and service dogs. As intelligent dogs they are highly trainable and easy to housebreak.
The Shilohs are naturally loyal, loving and good protectors making them suitable as watchdogs. Since they get along well with children and other house pets, they are also wonderful family dogs.
