Goliath will live up to his name; he is going to be a very large dog (but he will not be warlike).

Puppy Goliath was born on January 12th and he already weighs 40 pounds.

Shiloh Shepherds grow to be about 100 to 140 pounds. They were bred originally from German Shepherds, but are much larger. Goliath will have a plush coat with long outer fur and a thick, soft undercoat. He still has a soft puppy coat. Both need to be brushed out often to clear out debris and prevent matting. He should have a sweet personality, act companionable, gentle and loving, but still be able to work.

Goliath likes to sit in your lap, or as much he can fit into your lap. He is mouthy like most puppies and has months more of teething to get through.

He is confident and friendly with other dogs and he enjoys a good romp with his person and toys as well!

Because of Goliath’s size you’re going to need to have had large dog experience before.

Goliath is living with our friends at Marin Humane.  This is a courtesy post.  You can learn more about Goliath by phoning them on 415.883.4621.
