Meet the breeder

I'm Mindy M., the breeder behind Echo Shilohs located in Indianapolis, IN. I am a Registered Veterinary Technician in Surgical Medicine and apply my schooling and knowledge to my breeding program. I strive to breed healthy, sound dogs that families can enjoy for years to come. My puppies are raised in my home, are litter box and doggy door trained, and go through a litter evaluation before being placed.

Q. & A. with Mindy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for Shiloh Shepherds inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Shiloh Shepherds for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. The health and temperament of my puppies are my number one priority and I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Echo Shilohs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shiloh Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Temperament Test

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Genetic Diversity Test, DNA Profile, Full Embark Panel, OFA/CHIC DNA Repository, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
