As I understand it .....she crossed the German Shepherd Dog with Malemute to
get the size,
bone, coat, and color and markings that you recognize in the Shiloh Shepherd.
She makes
no claims that they are the German Shepherd Dog......they are not.....and I
believe she has her
own registry.......<G>

If he is a Shiloh Shepherd are they still registered with AKC as German
Shepherds? Dont think so.. I went to the website and from what I understand
they
are registered with a corporation know as the International Shiloh Shepherd
Registry, Inc. They may be a German Shepherd "type", but if not registered
with
AKC they are not a "real" German Shepherd.
Sorry for feeling this way, but I was at the vet once and this lady told me
that her dog was a Shiloh Shepherd and that she would NEVER own a German
Shepherd...True story... I just bit my tongue real hard and didnt say a
word.(till
it bled) Heard all the virtures of the Shiloh and why not to buy a German
Shepherd. So according to the Shiloh owners their dogs are not German
Shepherds...so why should we consider them as German Shepherds?

I had the same sort of thing happen this weekend, the clerk at the pet food
store where I shop was talking about her dog and told me he was a shiloh
shepherd, and that she decided on them because of all the hip problems with the
"sloped" german shepherds. But then it turned out that he is also dysplastic!
She explained some of the things with the breed, that it has splintered into a
couple of groups. I responed to her misinformation about my shepherds, that
they were show lines and that I've had very little dysplasia. I asked her if
hip health was strictly a matter of "squareness and straightness of stifle"
then why was there dysplasia with St Bernards, Labs, bulldogs and many others.
She basically ignored that and kept on talking. She loves her dog and that is
fine, I'm not out to change her mind. She wasent against GSD's but loved the
long hair. I told her I had a coated bitch and she told me she thought that
was a horrible no no amongst breeders, and she said she e
ven ha
d breeders tell her that they destroy long coats. Don't know who these
"breeders" are, but I can't imagine any serious breeder doing something like
that. She made it sound like it was a disgrace amongst us breeders.
Interesting.
