What other breeds were added to the Shiloh? The only "breed" out-crossed blood was introduced in 1989 through a specially programmed GIANT Malamute/Shepherd cross. The Malamute line used came from a kennel known for huge size and fantastic hips. The GSD line came from Northwest Canada and was very well known. Neither of these kennel names will be revealed due to prior agreement. How much Malamute is in the Shiloh? Since each individual puppy in a specific litter will pick up "different" percentages from each parent, there is no way to give an exact percentage average for each individual. As a "litter" the first generation dogs from this out-cross would have possessed approximately 25%, their offspring would average 12.5%, etc. Most Shilohs actively "breeding" now are at least 3 to 5 generations removed from the original four ("MAW" descendents) Snow, Sheba, Bria and Goliath.
