A very important difference between the Pomapoo and the Shiloh Shepherd is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Pomapoo is a tiny-sized dog while the Shiloh Shepherd is a giant-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Pomapoo belongs to the Mixed Breed Dogs group. Mixed Breed Dogs are not purebred dogs.
