Q. & A. with Kari
Why did you start breeding?
I was interested in breeding dogs for potential service work. I discovered the Shiloh Shepherd and wanted to help the breed grow and continuously improve.What makes your program special?
All of our breeding dogs go through extensive health testing. While conformation is important to us as well, we really want to focus on creating Shilohs that have amazing temperaments. Our goal is to breed with the breed standard in mind with a focus on how to provide the best Shilohs we can.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Kari
Kari has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Kari partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
“Litter evaluations are performed by a third party between 7 and 8 weeks of age. Pups are matched to their prospective homes based on info gathered during the evaluation.”
Price
“This pricing reflects pet vs breed quality. All pups will have regular deworming, a microchip, and come with their first set of vaccinations. Deposits are refundable if the litter does not produce the pup we feel is a good match for you or you have a specific preference for male/female or coat color. Deposit is not refundable if you “change your mind” or buy from another breeder instead.”
Contract & health guarantee
Kari may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Kari offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Kari directly.

Parent health testing
Excellent level
Shoreline 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.
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).
