Shiloh Shepherds are a relatively newer breed developed in the late 20th century in the United States. They were bred to resemble the German Shepherd, but with a more family-friendly temperament and fewer health issues. Like their German Shepherd ancestors, Shiloh Shepherds are highly intelligent and trainable. They excel in obedience training and enjoy mental stimulation through activities like puzzle toys and interactive games. They are versatile dogs that can excel in various roles, including family pets, therapy dogs, service dogs, and search and rescue dogs.
