How does a person know how to find a “legitimate” Shiloh Shepherd?
It depends on how one defines legitimate. For the purpose of these FAQs, we define legitimate as a puppy sired by two registered Shilohs (with Shiloh ancestry) or a puppy sired by a registered Shiloh and an approved outcross. Legitimacy to us means, a dog that only has one set of registration papers. We do not think there is anything more illegitimate in the canine world than a dog registered as two different breeds. In our opinions it makes a mockery of both breeds. Since a dog’s pedigree defines what breed it is and what it can be registered as, then researching a particular dog’s pedigree will determine if it is a legitimate Shiloh Shepherd (or not) or if it is a legitimate Shiloh Shepherd puppy (or not) or if the puppy is a legitimate outcross puppy (or not).
