I remember when she used to advertise her dogs, with the exact same pictures as both GSDs and RARE Shiloh Shepherds in Dog World. Everything in the ad was the same, except for the name of the breed. As for producing a breed with good hips, here are the OFA statistics on Shiloh Shepherds and GSDs: Breed Rank # of evals % % Excellent dysplastic SHILOH SHEPHERD 336318.619.5 GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG 391004073.819.0 You can draw your on conclusions from the statistics. Just remember that OFA uses different standards for what is dysplastic for each breed. No way of knowing if the Shiloh Shepherd standard is as tough as the one used for GSDs.
