Health Testing & Standards
See our health testing protocols for Shiloh Shepherds - what tests we do and why they matter for happy, healthy dogs.
Our dogs undergo Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) or PennHip Evaluations when they reach an appropriate age. Only dogs with passing scores (no detection of hip displasia) are bred in our program.
Holter monitoring is a 24-48 hour cardiac screening. Holter testing helps identify irregular heartbeats, conduction abnormalities, and early signs of cardiac conditions that could affect a dog's longevity or wellbeing.Â
Our dogs also receive cardiac evaluations performed by qualified vet professionals. These evaluations asses heart structure and function to screen for congenital or inherited cardiac conditions.
