Well they need to get their facts straight. The Shiloh is listed as 28th for hip problems on OFA and the GSD as 40th!!!! There are a lot of Shiloh's around my area being used in SAR and there seems to be a disproportionate number with EPI.

The breed club promotes temperament testing and issues certificates for individuals which it considers to be neither fearfully shy nor dominantly aggressive. Although the Shiloh is still relatively unknown, it makes a nice companion dog. They are a very intelligent, courageous and self-confident dog that will willingly protect its family, yet it is friendly and a good companion to its friends and family. Makes a good guard and watchdog. Shilohs have tremendous loyalty and courage. Calmly confident, but not hostile. Serious and almost human in their intelligence. They have a high learning ability. Shilohs love to be close to their families. They should be* *trained and socialized from an early age with a firm and loving hand.* ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
