Do you remember the large Shepherds of old? Do you remember a dog that seemed to know what you were thinking? A dog who seemed to understand your every word?

This describes only part of the Shiloh Shepherd. The Shiloh Shepherd is the total dog. They are large, loyal, loving and possess extreme intelligence. They make wonderful family companions and live their lives trying to please their people. They excel at obedience, love agility, are well suited for therapy work, have been used in search and rescue, and do well in the conformation/show ring.

Shiloh Shepherds can be either smooth or plush coated, with a palette of coat colors including black, tan, red, gold, white and varying shades of sable. They are more square in build with a slight slope to the top line. Even though they are large in size, they must possess the smooth flowing gait, strength, and stamina that are so important to the Shilohs overall working ability.

You can see the Shiloh Shepherd at conformation shows sponsored by several different show organizations such as the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA), the Federation of Rare Breeds (FORB), The International All Breed Canine Association (IABCA), and Rarities. Some American Kennel Club (AKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC) events may sometimes invite the rare breeds.

Here at Tantara Kennels, we share our home with six (6) Shiloh Shepherds. All of our dogs/puppies live inside our home with us as members of our family. We do not keep our dogs, nor any litters, in a separate kennel facility or as outside dogs. Our dogs have either completed obedience classes, passed their Canine Good Citizenship test (CGC), temperament test, or all of the previous. All of our dogs must have their hips certified, (passing and free of dysplasia) in order to be used in our breeding program.

**PUPPIES AVAILABLE OCCASIONALLY TO APPROVED HOMES ONLY**

In our attempt to match the right puppy with the right family, all of our pups are temperament tested and evaluated for conformation before going to their new homes. Every attempt is made to make the most ideal match.

**All of our puppies are microchipped before leaving for their new homes for their added protection**
