I lost my GSD Cheyenne at 8 yrs old, a tumor on his heart burst, never sick a day in his life. Then we decided to get a Shiloh Shepherd. I am not promoting the breed, but I have 2. My boy Apache (black in the pic) is 7 now, has Pannus and OFA rated his hips as moderate, I can live with that. Kiya is almost 6, has seizures, I have learned to live with that. OFA rated her hips as good. My little White Shepherd I hope and pray has no health issues. I guess it is what it is, you try to find a "reputable" breeder and hope for the best. It will never change my mind about the breed. I grew up with Belgian Shepards. I have decided recently I will continue with whites, its really easy to find the **** ticks on her.
