The Shiloh Shepherd has two varieties:
Smooth (shorthair):
The smooth coat should be of medium length and lie close to the body, the hair at the neck and on the back of the fore and hind legs may be longer and thicker than other areas.
The outer coat will be dense, straight, and harsh.
Plush (longhair):
The plush coat is longer, with a soft undercoat and a distinctive "mane" which extends to the chest.
The body coat should not be over 5 inches (12.5 cm) long but will have some feathering inside the ears and behind the legs that should not be over 3 inches (7.5 cm) long.
The smooth coat is easier to groom, though the plush coat seems to shed less.
For show purposes, plush coats require trimming of tufts that grow between the toes and pads.
