Shiloh Shepherds aren't what you think they are 

the fact that she was so friendly and good during the brushing which she clearly did not like... amazing dog, what a sweet girl.

'Meet Willow, who likes to swim in the pond and then roll on the grass' Willow: I'm not sorry A minute into the de-shedding brush Willow: ... maybe I'm a bit sorry

Willow's one ear standing at attention and one ear lying down on the job is adorable and unique. Good girl!

Poor Willow, she was very tolerant and well behaved and just cannot wait to go home to relax in the pond. Thank you for sharing.

Willow is a sweet, well behaved pup. She's adorable. Willow: if I have to have a shower, so do you.

She may not have liked all the brushing, but I'm sure she feels fantastic now.

It's amazing that she never showed signs of aggression despite her discomfort. Such a lovely girl. And the "after" is so very fluffy!

I love how silly she looks with the happy hoodie compressing her head and neck fur while the rest of her body is so fluffy lol

The one floppy, one straight ear is absolutely precious. She could get away with anything if she used that adorable face on me. Haha

I've meet one Shiloh Shepard...I thought his name was Shiloh and they were just introducing him funny. My friend tried to explain to me they were exclusive, rare, and expensive and I told her "Shiloh looks just like Felix" Felix was the family long-haired German Shepherd. Everyone acted like I slapped the lady, now I know why 😂 Kids will humble anyone

Shiloh Shepherds are a recognized breed of dog that originated in the United States. They were developed in the 1970s by Tina Barber, who aimed to create a large and gentle shepherd breed similar to the German Shepherd but with a calmer temperament. Shiloh Shepherds are known for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. Regular grooming is an essential part of caring for a dog's coat and overall health, so it's excellent that your Shiloh Shepherd was cooperative during the process. Good girl!

I miss my Shiloh. He passed 8 months ago at the age of 13. He was sweet, a bull in a china shop, mischievous even in his older years, and a bit of a baby. Great breed.

4:45 - this is 100% a Shiloh trait. Our shilohs leaned on us allllll the time. They’re just big sucky babies

We have two Shilohs. Our adult son took our first Shiloh when he moved to Colorado 3 years ago. She loves the cold and snow. We missed Karma so much that we got our second who will be two in October. They are both fabulous, sweet dogs. We also have a 15-year-old cat and they are wonderful with her. We highly recommend Shilohs and think they are the best dogs we’ve had. Most breeders have long waiting lists, so if you think you’ll want one, think ahead.

For a dog with so much matting, she did remarkably well and was extremely well behaved. She has a wonderful temperament, and her owners have done a great job of socializing her.

She's BEAUTIFUL!!! And you did an AMAZING job as always!!!

My retriever, lab, shepherd mix had gorgeous flowing black fur. She looked like a flat-coated retriever with a face that was less heavy. Turned into a lanky drowned rat when we bathed her. This was the 90's and early 2000's. Never went to a groomer. Instead we had to brush her out and had to vacuum the entire first floor of the house EVERY FREAK'N DAY. XD But she was worth every second of it. She took it upon herself to be our nanny dog and would herd us closer to the house and if we were up to no good she would TELL ON US! 20 years later and I miss her every day.

Shilohs are the best dogs!!! Wish we lived closer. I’d love to have you groom Kojak. You’d adore him.

I love that you never shame the owners in these videos and instead express your understanding that different dog breeds, personalities, experiences (my dog has never even seen a pond lol) leads to different challenges to keeping them clean, healthy, & happy.

The worst part, after 3 hours at the groomer, she probably didn’t last an hour before she went swimming and undid all that work. But, she is so sweet, she would be forgiven! 💕

Her coat "after" & walking around does look very much like a plush blanket!

I love dogs with mismatched ears, they always look so goofy. And what a gorgeous breed, her coat looks so soft and fluffy ❤

Willow is such a sweet & precious dog. Considering the discomfort and/or pain Willow felt during the brushing through of her heavy matted fur, Willow did an amazing job trying to stay still & keeping her well behaved demeanour in tact. ❤❤❤

I’m sure her owners were so ecstatic and grateful that you were able to save her coat. You did a wonderful job!!

She’s so pretty, I love her face and eyes. Thank you for showing us the different breeds and explaining their temperaments and care etc. You’re helping dogs in many ways by preventing wrong choices at the start. Love what you do and it’s a highlight of my day. ❤

THAT ONE FLOPPY EAR HAD ME DEAD ❤

She's so good natured! Even when you were brushing out the most matted bits and it was clearly painful for her, she didn't snap at you or anything.

Willow is beautiful and so sweet. She deserves so much praise and treats.

I rescued a dog that was never groomed and was matted from the top of his head to the tip of his tail. The vet said he was approximately 6 years old and it looked like he had never been groomed. They shaved him and he was so happy. Also, never use scissors to cut a mat that's down to the skin off a dog or cat. It will cut their skin and require stitches from the vet. Use a grooming shaver the way she does.

4:48 my cat demands hugs for moral support when he’s getting a bath. He’ll wrap his front legs around whatever part of you he can reach and cling. Luckily he knows not to use his claws.

You keep teaching me about so many shepherd breeds I’ve never heard of, and now I want to start a collection of shepherds 😂 thank you for being so good with the fluff balls you work with!

Behold! The new fuzzy wall decor! We did a Shiloh Shepherd at our shop, she was sweet as well. The backing up, sitting and tap dancing was exactly her thing too! We always had to sharpen our de tangler before doing her

She practically changed color from before to after! I know you were tired by the time you finished brushing her. Bless your heart.

Omg, Czech Wolfdog? That explains a LOT about why the Shiloh's so chill and have great personalities. The Czech Wolfdogs are freaking WONDERFUL. I highly suggest folks to go read up on them!

Thank you for showing this breed. most people think they are long coat GSDs but these videos help show their true personalities/temperament. it’s a wonderful breed.

1) My dog would never shake off all the water until AFTER I removed her from the tub. I always had to keep a giant towel on hand to drape over her just to keep the room from getting soaked. 2) I wish I knew about those nozzle washer things when I still had my dog. It's difficult to try and rinse an uncooperative 80 lbs. Rottweiler Sheppard mix with a handheld shower head.

She’s absolutely beautiful at the end. I love the way her ears are different and the head tilt 😊

My Yorkie growing up had one floppy ear and one ear that stood straight up. It was too adorable, just like on Willow. 🥰

Her ears 🥺 And what a good girl she was despite how unpleasant it must have been for her! ❤

I love Willow…The ears, her disposition, and her beauty! 🥳💜🐾

I love her floppy ear! Like the crazy ear stage of German Shepard puppies!

Beautiful and nicely tempered pup. Very high maintenance 😂 Sweet girl.

I have a gsd/mal mix, a black lab mix, and a 100% golden retriever. I can testify that dogs who find water in ALL places...ponds, lakes, mud puddles, and swimming pools, will shake first and RUB second. Thank goodness it's only my golden and lab who love water. Although, I love that about them, the clean up and grooming is CONSTANT. I learned a lot from this grooming session. Thank you, for saving her amazing coat!

What a sweet face Willow has and her 1 floppy ear 😍Really a beautiful breed! Great job Vanessa

I love that you take her comfort seriously. Brushing out all that matting without cutting or thinning with the dematter would be a horrible experience, and very painful. That is a ginormous dog. Love.❤

I would have cried in this session if I were you, glad I didn't have to do this. She was so gentle yet so stressed, and you saved her from the experience of losing her entire coat. ❤❤❤

Omgosh...Willow after she was towel dried and on the grooming table is the cutest!

I fell in love with this dog 🐶❤️ She has a great disposition. Never barked!! Beautiful coat too. You did a great job Vanessa.

My GSD mix rescue has ears like that, too! One stands up, the other flops. That was one of the things that caught my attention. ❤🐾 That Shiloh is a beautiful animal. I sure would hate the maintenance of her coat, though!

What a sweet girl, she really took that brushing/de-matting like a champ. Her one floppy ear cracks me up too

Coming from a recent / casual viewer, you are amazing. The amount of hair/fur coming off of some of these dogs is astonishing, and you’re doing an amazing job. Every video I watch, the dog is beautiful by the end, even if they’re fighting you. You really do everything you can, and it’s amazing to see how much work is really done in this process. Thank you so much for the videos, hard work, and dedication!!!

The temperament of these dogs are in next level, what a calm doggoo ❤

I found the brushing out of Shiloh’s matted fur very satisfying. I don’t think she was a fan though 😆😆❤️😘

What a pretty animal, from the amount of work you did on her proves that beauty has it's cost. Haha..

What a sweet, gorgeous dog. I flinched when Vanessa had to pull on the mats, which bought to mind my mother brushing through my matted curls when I was a child in the 1950’s. We didn’t have the products that help untangle hair back then like we do now. It would be a shame if this beautiful dog ever had to be shaved down because of her matted coat. Wonderful job, Vanessa! You are such a kind and patient groomer. ❤

The after is so majestic when she runs in the garden omg

What a magnificent dog! I love the one ear up and the other down! Gives her uniqueness and her personality is to die for! I own shelties and I can tell you the need a good brushing at least once a week! Great job saving her coat!

What a beautiful dog. Gorgeous to look at, and her behavior was excellent. You could see she did not like having her meds touched but it looked like she just said no. I’m stuck here. Just let the woman finish her job. So laid-back. Just a beautiful shepherd. Thank you so much for letting us watch. Kathy.

She’s a stunning girl!! 🤩

Absolutely gorgeous doggie! Her sweet face goes along with her disposition. You were a trooper to stick with this long grooming session. Blessings.

Ooh I love em when their ears are one up one down! So freaking extra adorbz 💚💚💚

"Design" breeders take notes; just mixing two breeds together does not make a new breed. Yes, people have actually said that.

Beautiful. Sweet. Tolerant. What a gem of a dog. What a big job to keep her dematted. You were both amazing

I'll repeat: I love how this groomer always knows what todo & how to do it.

The air drying for Shilohs doesn’t just cause matting- it can also cause issues such as hot spots and skin infections (fungal and bacterial).

I can't believe she's so sweet and friendly despite being SO matted.

Oh my goodness! This Shiloh looks exactly like our Cosette (RIP)! She was my ❤ She lived till she was 14! Excellent breeding by Miracle Shiloh Shepherds on PEI. Cosy loved water & loved to drink it from the hose. She was the best dog that ever walked the planet (said her Mommy😆)! My hubs used to travel A LOT & we got Cosy so I would feel safe. Since they look part wolf ppl were cautious of her. I truly believe she helped me raise our kids! If they were going out to play I always told them, "Take Cosy w/ you!" bc I knew she would guard them. She never snapped or growled at anyone, but would bark like an angry dog if she saw a stranger on her property. Exactly what I wanted her to do! She alerted us once when a "bad" guy came to our house as a guest. She just stood in front of him & blocked him from our kids. Didn't make a noise, but stood solidly on all fours like a wall. We'd never seen her do that before so we investigated him after he left. Found out this dude really WAS bad! Once she protected my hubs when some runaway dogs came by. They were nice dogs but one of them tried jumping up on my hubs...a big no-no at our house! Soon as Cosy saw the dog in the air she jumped up between them, gave a warning growl & bared her teeth. The dog got the message & they went back to playing. When people came over or when we would come home she'd run around to find one of her toys & present it to them/us as a gift & if she brought you her green alligator it was an honor!. We've lost her but we've got her great nephew & another male Shiloh that came from a different groomer bc we couldn't get to PEI. Both are as gentle as can be but I don't doubt they'd take action if they believed we were at risk! Just last June one of the boys ran a bear off our property! Shilohs are AMAZING dogs! Train them correctly, love love love on them, & you've got an amazing friend for life! Cannot praise this breed enough, but as usual, do your homework when shopping for an honest breeder!💗💙💙

She looked beautiful after you finished her groom, just beautiful!

She's gorgeous.

You again are the BEST groomer I've ever seen and this dog Willow is gorgeous, so fluffy and so shiny and clean now, thanks to you!!!!❤❤❤❤

What a beautiful pup! Lol! That ear kills me!❤❤❤

She was well behaved considering what you had to do to de-mat her etc! Beautiful dog!

Love the furnado part. Thank you for the wonderful wake up video for my day 💙 yesterday was very painful because we had to put our nearly 11yo Doberman down, so this is a wonder, educational, relaxing video

All my life I was sure I wanted german shepperd. I was wrong. Shiloh is what I need. Just perfect combination of everything I want from a dog.

She is stunning and such a trooper. Such love and courage. Hugs! You have the greatest job in the entire universe!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

She was such a well behaved girl for all the matting! And her ears are so bloody adorable 🥰

I found with my Belgian Tervuren and Groenendaels (longcoated dogs with tons of undercoat) that it wasn't necessary to get them bone dry after swimming to prevent matts. I taught them all what "settle" meant and after every 6 hour session in the pond (every other day from the day there was no ice in the pond to the first day ice formed), after swimming I'd get out the high velocity blow dryer and blow each of them damp dry while the ones that were wet waited for their turns on their designated spot. Then they lazed around in the sun until they were bone dry. I spritzed them with either The Stuff For Dogs or Ice on Ice (by Chris Christensen), whipped a pin brush or comb through the problem areas and voilà, no matts. The whole routine took maybe an hour after each swim but I was doing 6 dogs, so maybe 15 minutes for a single dog (set up and break down time would be the same to get the grooming supplies and dryer out--I had a wagon with an expanded metal bottom for them to stand on that worked well as a grooming table). There was an economy for me in that by the time I had blown out the sixth dog and taken a break myself for a cool drink, the first dog was bone dry--for a single dog, there'd be a bigger break in the middle but the active actually doing something time would only be about 15 minutes.

Willow is a beautiful dog. And such a sweet temperament.

A Beautiful Girl. 🐕💗🇦🇺🐾So patient and well behaved. 💗

Willow is an absolute good girl ❤

What a stunning dog. If we weren’t disabled I’d definitely have dogs as well as my cats.

Simply Beautiful...you are an amazing groomer!!!🥰💜🐕‍🦺

Her floppy ear is quite expressive, what a gorgeous dog

Willow was such a sweetheart, and her wonky ear is adorable.

Looks like half of her wound up in floofy, wooly balls rolling on the floor!! What a sweetheart. She looks a little like an over-sized Keeshond with her lovely disposition, thick coat and colouring.

Vanessa, that was a wonderful job on this beauty of a dog! I could see your level of concentration, determination and how you were angling the high velocity dryer to maximize its efficacy. I find it touching how very much you wanted to preserve Willow’s coat. ❤

She's beautiful! Excellent job! 🥰

Absolutely gorgeous of a pup❤

She's a beauty. Too bad her coat gets so tangled/ matted when she does what she loves= getting in the pond. Once again you did an amazing job 👏🏾

What a gorgeous, sweet doggy. I'm so glad you were able to save her magnificent coat.

Her coat is amazingly thick, but amazingly beautiful. She seems to be such a sweetheart 😂

She looks so healthy and HER HIPS LOOK GREAT FROM ALL THE SWIMMING! we have just bought leaf blower and the dogs love having their hair dried using it.

Wow! I’m gobsmacked at her sweet, gentle disposition and OMG, what a gorgeous “after!”❤

Wow! silky smooth & very beautiful. Nice job. 👍🏾

Judging by this and the other Shiloh you groomed, I have a very good impression of this breed. They seem to have a very friendly, relaxed temperament. I'm curious to read up on their development because both Malamutes and GSDs are each one brand of crazy (still good dogs, of course)

What a good lass especially as uou could tell that she was hurting. Such a lovely natured dog and what an incredible groomer. The change, before and after, was amazing. Thank you for all your hard work for us ❤❤👋👋👵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My 10 month old Bambini is mostly German Shepard and about 25% Malamute, at the moment both ears are still down and his nature matches his name, he is very wise and loving.

Willow has a snout of a czech wolfdog, a size and temperament of a malamute, and a regal presence of a GSD. So wonderful. 😍😍

Some ppl watch asmr, i watch this. Its somehow relaxing seeing u doing ur job without overhyped loud musical fast cutting presentation. Keep up the good work. I am a Fan

Beautiful, majestic dog. Such a sweet temperament. Great job Vanessa. This was a very difficult groom.
