Does anyone have experience with Shiloh Shepherds?

I know they're not overly common as they're still in development but, I was surprised to see no mention of them anywhere.
They're comparable to German Shepherds but are calmer, friendlier, larger, wolfier in appearance, developed for companionship instead of workability, and score better hip grades on average. I've admired them from afar and I'm pretty sure I'd want to peruse finding one when ever I can accommodate a large companion. Does anyone have any experience with them? (Pics not mine)

they're fucking WHAT?
This usually refers to newer breeds that aren't recognized by major kennel clubs yet and haven't closed their stud books. They've been in development since the 1970's and are very far along in their development. Their DNA is even disguisable as a breed by major DNA testing companies. They're recognized by the American Rare Breed Association but, not yet AKC.
 
On one cock? Have you ever seen fossa? Or more precisely the medieval weapon that animal has for a penis?
I don't think I have. The most "exotic" cock I've seen is a tapir.

But I was asking if you can fit two knots inside you lol
 
I was surprised to see no mention of them anywhere.

I didn't even know they were a thing. I was thinking of getting a female GSD after i fell in love with a friend's dog, might be worth looking at this.
 
This breed has a very soap opera like history, the lady that founded the breed and some of the breeders had a falling out, they formed different registries and clubs, there's one side raggin on the other, some name calling, some claiming they have the real shiloh and the others are just mutts, etc.

The description you gave is in line with what I'd read, and the only one I've encountered was a very good dog and fit that description. The only thing I would add is they seem to have made it a very foundational point to focus on checking for a number of hereditary problems and trying to keep them out of their their stock. The breeding dogs have to be tested for a bunch of stuff like hips, elbows, heart problems, degenerative myelopathy, many of them have certifications for eyes, thyroid disease, pancreatic problems, and some were even working on a DNA data registry for breeding dogs.

On the other hand, I find they have a huge variety of conformations. Compare the big boop nose on the one on the mountain in the last picture in first post, to the middle dog in the picture before who's got a much smaller head compared to his body and a pointier nose. If your picky on looks, you might have a surprise if you're expecting your pup to looks like one, but he grows up to look like the other.
