Let's hear it for all the original Shiloh owners who let us use their images/clips in the video. Check out more of their content on their respective Instagram profiles. What do you like the most about Shiloh Shepherds? Let us know in the comments!🐕
@@Murphy82nd sadly we had to put him down shortly after I posted this comment. His health was very good until around 12. The last year of his life was difficult with the common afflictions of old age. For a dog of his size, 13 is great. I miss him a lot.
@@cg1492 I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad you got to have him in your life for as long as you did. My family has a very young Shiloh and he is a gentle giant. Take care.
I used to breed Shilohs one thing I’d mention is still a newer breed so the gene pool you gotta be careful with if you wanna breed, and since it’s a rare breed business is pretty competitive at times, and they are in high demand so they can be pretty expensive. With that they are my favorite breed, and I would highly recommend them as a dog, I don’t breed anymore but I’d gladly have one again
@@bellastarrie they can be a little stubborn when they’re puppies but they are very obedient with proper training, one of the best dogs you can ever get
@@tacos4me584 thank you for the quick response! i will definitely look more into them. i made the mistake of ignoring all the stubborness warnings abt my great pyrenees x anatolian shepherd mix. lol
@@tacos4me584 Do you know the ancestory of Shiloh Shepherd dogs?I mean who were the parents of the first Shiloh Shepherd?Were they a gsd and an Alaskan Malamute?I like to know about F1 and F2 generations too.Actually I'm interested in King Shepherd dogs.I came here because gsd and Shiloh Shepherd are the dog breeds used to breed them.
@@KRATOS825 yes there’s a bit of malamute I’m not too sure how much, it’s mostly German Shepard, and the lady who originated the breed was pretty mean actually, so I only know from second hand sources
A Shiloh will bond very strongly with one human in the family (the one who spends the most time with him). If the primary human leaves on a trip, for example, it will hurt the bond and the dog can become despondent, resentful, and highly stressed. No dog does well alone, but Shiloh’s are especially frustrated loners. I went on an extended trip once and when I returned it took him over a week to forgive me for my absence. For my next Shiloh I will make an effort to always have him with me or have a companion dog with him at all times.
I never experienced that with my Shiloh. He was ecstatic each time I’d get home off the road. With that said he bonded like crazy with my other dog. He’d howl and whimper for hours if I had to take my collie to the vet and he had to stay at home. They were inseparable.
I have a 6 year old Shiloh that i got when he was 9 weeks old. He is the best pup ever. He’s smart, affectionate and knows my moods. When my husband passed away, he would comfort me when i would cry. He is also the goofiest pup ever, but beware as they are counter high so nothing is safe from their noses on those counters. They can reach everything! Food, hair brushes, whatever, I’ve found it scattered around the house. As for being a watchdog, he barks, but he did allow someone to steal my car out of my driveway without making a sound to alert me. So…draw your own conclusions. I love thiz dog so much
They are what German shepherds looked like when I was a kid in the 1980s. Our dog Zimba was a tall, straight backed, great hipped beast of a dog who looked after his two little charges and was a great companion dog to our border collie.❤
Our Highland Hills Shilohs 7 year old, Astrid, is absolutely the most delightful companion we could have imagined. I would own a whole team if we had the room :)
Also have a 3-year-old Shiloh from Highland Hills. However, 2 different DNA tests came back as 1/2 Shiloh and 1/2 Caucasian Shepherd. Gayle is playing with the breed and not telling anyone.
@@kimmarie2270 you probably "mistakenly" buy their loasian shepherd puppy breed, they're developing, which is exactly half shiloh & half caucasian shepherd according to their website I don't want to judge either of you, but it's important to be honest on your case
I remember the first time I seen a shiloh shepherd! Me and my wife was walking our gsd and we happened to see our neighbor walking this huge dog that looked like a bear! Our gsd was still a young pup and when she got near the shiloh she wanted to play. But unfortunately for my gsd the shiloh did not lol. The shiloh let out a bark like a deep sounding one like if he was telling her I’m not in the mood 😂. Good thing the shiloh shepherd was nice because he could have easily hurt my little baby gsd. 😂
I wound up adopting a 20 month old male Shiloh Shepherd, although I was told he was a GSD. I know GSDs, so I knew his build was different. He certainly acts a lot like a Shiloh from what I’ve learned. He has not been well socialized, & I’m working on it. He’s a good sweet boy, but huge and scared of new people he sees suddenly, or else he’s unhappy to see people walking their dogs past our home. I’ve resorted to getting a special no pull harness w/ two hooks, to teach him not to pull when walking. Putting up an invisible fence, so I’ll have an off leash area to safely train him to obey. Then I can take him swimming, etc. I live in the country near lakes, rivers, and it’s be nice to take him to places I can let him off leash to really run. As he’s not from a reputable Shiloh breeder I’m aware of, I’m having him neutered at the end of the month. Also doing a DNA test to find out exactly what he is, & screen for potential health issues. The pic is of him. He’s about 90 lbs, or 198 kilos. Everywhere we go, people stop and stare, comment on how striking his looks are. He’s still an enormous puppy. Likes to curl up in a ball and wrap his giant plume of a tail around his face when he sleeps.
I only know this breed working at a groomer as a bather. We had 2 come in. Male and female. One was (Princess) Leah and Luke (skywalker) I thought they were mixed with wolf they were so big. They had long hair. One black the female classic Sheppard colors. Beautiful dogs
Great video, I learned a lot! I grew up with a German shepherd and always loved them but was sad to see how many health issues they’ve had since the sloping hips breeders went crazy it seems. I’m interested in a Shiloh shepherd and hope my Akita approves (she likes dogs generally but is very bossy). Thanks for the info!
First Shiloh I ever met belonged to my brother, out of state. It was still a puppy. We were given a list of rules to follow when meeting it. "Don't approach too quickly. Don't look it in the eye. If you want to pet it, put your hand out slowly so he can sniff it first, and don't reach for him. No quick moves." There were other rules to follow, but these were enough to put us off. You have to walk on eggshells when you are in their house. The dog has grown to be skittish, aggressive/defensive. It has to be kept in a crate if other people, kids, or pets come to visit. We will not visit again until this dog is gone. Does anyone else see any problem here.
I would just wait until you're better off financially and have a bigger place. I live in a one bedroom apartment that has a laundry room, kitchen, and living room albeit small. As much as I would love to have a dog I can't afford one at this time nor do I have the time. So, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Honestly, I want to wait until I start my own family and have progressed more in my career before getting a dog. Having a family where I can be a husband with a wife and children would make owning a dog more manageable tbh.
He may be lucky the kennel club housewives haven’t recognized them. I get a lot of TH-camrs just pick a topic they think they can get best views and don’t really care about the topic. But with pups you should care it’s very important if you are gonna be spreading information about pups. If you love the breed keep them away from the kennel clubs 😂
First Shiloh I ever saw was my brother's. First introduced as a puppy. We were told things like "Approach it slowly. Don't look it in the eye. Hold your hand out slowly if you want to pet it. Don't make any quick moves." And a list of other rules to follow. This dog has grown up to be skittish, unreliable and has to be kept in a crate if children, people and other pets come to visit. As long as the dog is around, we won't come to visit. Anybody see any problems here?

My Shiloh is 13 now. Great breed. We get people stopping all the time to ask what breed he is.
I hope to have a Shiloh Shepherd one day
How has your Shiloh been health wise?

That's because it's an improved darker German shepherd

Sounds like your dog had superstition anxiety, which isn't just a shiloh Shepard thing

90 lbs are only 40.82 kilograms :) I think, thats a good thing... smile.
@@Hannoveranerin13 lmao thanks for addressing that
Never heard about that breed. Nice. Interesting.
You should do a video on the King Shepherd. I'm curious what you can dig up on them! :)

Какая красивая порода
mine is still a puppy and the pain of his puppy teeth came right back when he mentions the puppy biting lol.
Where did you get him? I’m trying to find a breeder in the US. I live in TN
Beautifull dog breed, what it's actual bite force?
Československý vlčák is translated as the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, Vlčák means a hybrid of wolf(vlk) and shepherd(ovčák)

Умный пьесик
Hi Nords
Is it fine to leave the dog alone for 8 hours if I'd make it active for 3 hours a day?
Are they good guard dogs??
No. They’re companion bred, not bred for working.
Dutch accent?
Sounds American to me
@@OffGridInvestor nope
@@OffGridInvestorits absolutely not, even i can say, just by his pronounciatians of the letter T
DDR Its a must to do in this channel
