At one time I had a good link to the origin of the Shiloh shepherd. Changed ISP's so don't know where it is. As I recall they are a hybrid of a GSD and a Malamute. I wish I could say the Shiloh's I have met at the International shows had that great temperament. The ones I have seen were dog aggressive and not too much fun to be around. That said. Since it has been determined that Gandalf is not a GSD, then a letter of recognition from the PC would be a very nice gesture. And let's move on to finding the GSD's who do deserve to be recognized for their heroic dees at the Nationals.

I HEARD that the GSD was bred with Alaskan Malamutes to create the Shiloh, didn't see it on the web page. I have seen a Shiloh up close at an Internat'l. Show here. He looked like a big ol' teddybear, great temperament, a little too sluggish for me, but huge. If there was a problem with our club then I was not aware of it. I merely mentioned in my post that we should "recognize" this dog's deed and as was said, a letter would be great from our PC to do just that. Regardless, this dog saved a boy's life and this alone makes him GREAT in my eyes. So, now lets get back to our GSD's. Lee F. Yeah, I am sure their history is very clean ...... right on schedule with good pr I am with you Lee, lets get back to our own, we got plenty to deal with Ileana ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
