Frequently Asked Questions About Delta:

  • What is a Shiloh Shepherd?

    • The Shiloh Shepherd is a large companion shepherd dog originally derived from a combination of herding and working breeds. Breed founder Tina M. Barber began working on the Shiloh in the 1970's, and in 1991 it was recognized as its own rare breed by ARBA (the American Rare Breed Association). The Shiloh is large, calm, and generally easier to handle than many working shepherd breeds. However, as with any dog, they do require significant socialization and structure from the time they are puppies. They are highly intelligent and can be protective of their family and home.

  • Is she friendly?

    • Yes! Delta is very friendly, she just can’t say hi to everyone all the time because she needs to focus on her job.

    • There are a few requirements for a dog to be a service dog:

      • The handler must have a disability that would benefit from a service animal.
