Coat Colors
ISSR, Inc. Shiloh Shepherd Litter Evaluation Program Manual: Conformation COLOR: The Shiloh Shepherd comes in various colors. Shades of black with tan, golden tan, reddish tan, silver, and cream are as desirable as are various shades of richly pigmented golden, silver, red, dark brown, dark gray, or black sables. Also solid black or solid white is acceptable as long as the nose, eye rims, and lips are solid black. A white blaze on the chest is acceptable as well as some white markings on the toes, as long as they are blended in with the other shades of silver, cream, tan, etc. Any other white markings on any other part of the body should be considered a FAULT. Any washed out or pale colors should also be considered a FAULT. Blues, livers, dogs with lack of proper pigmentation, or dogs with a nose that is not predominately black must be DISQUALIFIED. *Solids* Black (BLK) Plush White (WHI) Plush Buff (BUF) Smooth *Duals* Light Black/Silver (LBV) smooth Black/Silver (BV) Young Smooth saddle male Light Black/Silver (LBV) plush Dark Black/Silver (DBV) Young Smooth blanket male © International Shiloh Shepherd Registry, Inc.
