Was just reading the thread on Timberwolf
Now i have come across on a few occasions a breed in America called Shiloh Shepherds.
Never really spent time on looking into what they are or were the come from.
But apparently it was one ladies dream to have a large shepherd with an even temperament and good hips

May have to do a bit more reading for this one...
Thanks Kateshep
Hi Blackdog,
Shiloh Shepherd. A breed developed in America as a reaction to the increasingly extreme show type, in a supposed attempt to recreate the qualities of the "original" GSD. Alaskan Malamute and Sarplaninac were crossed in to increase size. This is a giant breed, at least 30" at the shoulder. It is not AKC recognized, but is registered with the ISSR, or International Shiloh Shepherd Registry. All colours and long coats are accepted. Ears are slightly smaller than the GSD. Temperament is medium to soft and drive is variable. Although its giant size and soft temperament make it unsuitable as a police service dog, it is an intelligent and sensitive breed that can make a fine companion, family and therapy dog.
Cheers,
Owen Baxter
