Overall, Shilohs don't have a lot of drive. However, if Shutzhund is trained as a game to really build play drive, you could title a Shiloh to at least Sch I, bu I doubt you'd ever have a top competition dog. Chewie started at 4 years and will bite the sleeve and do a hold and bark. We plan on starting our new pup at 12 weeks and will try to build his drive. Also, our breeder is keeping in mind our goals when helping us choose a pup. I've seen females who would have enough drive to work.
