Shiloh Shepherd dog

Dog breed profile

The Shiloh Shepherd dog was developed in the United States as a larger, calmer alternative to the German Shepherd. This breed is known for its gentle temperament, intelligence, and strong loyalty to family members. They typically have a medium-length double coat that requires regular grooming to manage shedding. Shiloh Shepherds are active dogs that benefit from daily exercise and mental stimulation. They thrive in homes with ample space, making them less suited for apartment living. Due to their size and energy, they are best suited for experienced dog owners or active families who can meet their needs. Early socialization and positive training help bring out their best qualities as devoted companions.
