I don't think that they claim to be German Shepherd Dogs. Don't know if they are registered as Shiloh Shepherd. None of their characteristics are close to the GSD standard.

Woody Taylor Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2006 Posts: 134 Loc: Minneapolis, MN Offline	Poorly written Wikipedia entry, but I remember it having a lot of justifications for owning a Shiloh...at least from a Shiloh person's perspective. Wikipedia Shiloh Shepherd entry If you want to see some dog owner drama, click on the "talk" section of the page at the top. Looks like Wikipedia turned the screws on a bunch of nutty editors. That does not happen often. Achtung! Mein Schäferhund frisst Elite-Studenten!

Beth Sparks Webboard User Reg: 01-25-2006 Posts: 186 Loc: Offline	The link Woody gave says that Tina Barber split with the AKC in 1990. The Shiloh Shepherd is not recognized by any major kennel club. They are only recognized by some Rare Breed organizations.

Woody Taylor Webboard User Reg: 01-05-2006 Posts: 134 Loc: Minneapolis, MN Offline	That article also states that "Their self-confidence and superior intelligence leads them to excel at many activities such as obedience, schutzhund, tracking and others." Any proof of that any of you all had seen? I can change the entry (you can too if the mood hits you)...I would encourage you all to check out your dog areas of interest at Wikipedia, in any case, to correct factual errors and bias introduced by previous article editors. Anyone can change the content there. Achtung! Mein Schäferhund frisst Elite-Studenten!

Daniel Flores Webboard User Reg: 03-12-2006 Posts: 225 Loc: Northwest Arkansas Offline	Yeah, I saw this on Wikipedia and I've started hearing a bunch about them from there on. I have Never heard anything about exceling in protection and so on. Abigal von der Mueller

And oh yes....most of the breeders for these animals are certified kooks. You'd be much better off with picking up a dog from a shelter before getting one of these problems in the making.
