    The Slivers:

    Below is a list of some of the known Shiloh "slivers". Please be warned, dogs produced by any "sliver" breeder is NOT a real Shiloh Shepherd nor will it be recognized or accepted by the ISSR. These dogs are known to exhibit health and temperament problems, some of which are severe.

    Dog Clubs:

    *ISSDC: International Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club (Opened in 1997, Closed in 2001, Reopened in 2004)
    *SSBA: Shiloh Shepherd Breed Association (Opened shortly after ISSDCr and assumed registry funcions for them.)

    Registry Organizations:

    *ISSDCr: ISSDC Registry (Opened in 1998, Closed in 2001)
    *NSBR: National Shiloh Breed Registry (Opened in 2001)
    *TSSR: The Shiloh Shepherd Registry (Opened in 2002)

    *SSBAR: Shiloh Shepherd Breed Association Registry (Opened in 2005?)

    Breeders:

    Coming Soon!

    About Sliver Registries:

    ~NSBR~
    The NSBR is a "private" "registry" that was started by one breeder in order to provide papers for her GSD mixes! This "registry" claims to also represent other dissident "breeders" that have dogs of the "Shepherd Family" that they want to obtain "official" looking papers for. <..> Please take the time to review an example of what the NSBR considers to be acceptable documentation.

    Such "breeders" can take any dog and "name it" anything they want to, without having to provide any proof of heritage or even ownership and then breed this dog to any real or imaged stud and register the pups as pure "Shiloh Shepherds". Take a moment to view just 3 true cases that can prove this point!

    ~ESSR~
    This "registry" is now being proclaimed by a woman who lives in Switzerland, but has "partnered" with the NSBR! She met her first Shiloh Shepherd in 2000 when she saw a young Beauty pup that was shipped to Antionette in the Netherlands! Since the mixed breed pups she was selling were having so many health issues, she jumped on the idea of breeding Shiloh's and making lots of money doing so!! Her full involvement with our breed can be documented via the WHO IS GABY page.

    Although the ISSR tried to help her to do right by this wonderful breed, she refused to follow the rules, and chose to "do her own thing" and jumped in with the NSBR in order to "paper" what she was breeding ... please take a moment to look at this fully documented report!!

    ~TSSR~
    Upon the failure of the ISSDCr, P.S. desperately tried to return to the ISSR even though the amnesty had already been closed. She then started the TSSR around 2002. She did all she could to promote her "new" registry as "raising the bar" with even stricter rules and requirements than the ISSR had! Unfortunately, many people were fooled by this hype--until the truth was exposed: the rules applied to all "outsiders" while "her" personal stock was just "grandfathered" in without having to undergo any of the rigid testing! This resulted in complete chaos from within her own constituency and she was voted out as the registrar in 2004. Since then the site is being revamped under new management; but most of the breeders that had left the TSSR have not bothered to return! Only a small group of diehards remain because nobody else wants them.

    ~SSBA~
    The SSBA was formed in a weak attempt at resurrecting the original defunct ISSDCr. At first it was promoted heavily but no one was interested in working with the same people that had failed so massively in their previous attempt to "organize" some semblance of respectability within their group. At that point a "registrar" was appointed, but that was short lived due to the fact that the "new" registrar was offered a chance to take over P.S.'s former (TSSR) registry. So another "registrar" was selected but it seems that not only the website but everything else has continued to be "under construction" for quite some time now!

About me:

The purpose of this profile is to support the Original Shiloh Shepherd Dog that was founded and developed by Tina Barber, owner of New Zion Shilohs, and to give an honest comparison of the differences between ISSR bred Shilohs and non-ISSR bred Shilohs. I chose the title because while non-ISSR bred dogs are indeed Shepherd dogs, I don't feel they are truly Shilohs. I believe that it's only fair to consider that they be identified separately from Shilohs to avoid confusion and misunderstandings and also to respect the woman who started the Shiloh Shepherd breed in the first place.

There are many things that make a Shiloh, a Shiloh. One of the greatest, is explained by Tina Barber herself and can be read on the following page. I could not have said it better myself. The article involves the history of the entire breed and a commitment that was made. Without that commitment, there is no Shiloh. It may be a Shepherd Dog, but it can't be a Shiloh. Just like the headline says, "If it's not a ISSR Shiloh Shepherd, It's not a REAL Shiloh Shepherd!"

What's In A Name?"


The Breed & The Founder:

The Shiloh Shepherd was developed by Tina M. Barber of Shiloh Shepherds (kennel) in New York State. In 1974, she began developing a unique line of German Shepherds. Her goal was to preserve the type of dog she remembered from her childhood in Germany; dogs that are good family companions, exceptionally intelligent, both physically and mentally sound, and large in size.

She separated her foundation stock from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1990, and the FIC agreed to register these dogs as a separate breed. The name chosen for these dogs was "Shiloh Shepherd", named after the kennel of origin. Shortly thereafter, the Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club of America, Inc. (SSDCA, Inc.) was formed to preserve and protect the future welfare of the breed. In 1991, the International Shiloh Shepherd Registry (ISSR) was established and took over all registry functions from the FIC.

In 1993, The Complete Computer Place (TCCP), using a specially designed database program, officially started to maintain the records. Nine generations of pedigree and LMX (Littermate X-Ray Program) data were compiled and all past entries that had been kept in paper files were computerized. The ISSR continues to use this program to document all vital data on each Shiloh Shepherd registered in its registry. Ms. Barber continues to be active in the development of the breed as the President of the SSDCA, Inc. and Breed Warden for the ISSR.

The SSDCA & ISSR:

You can read detailed information about the SSDCA & the ISSR by visiting their official websites.

Official SSDCA Webpage

"The Shiloh Shepherd,, Dog Club of America was founded in 1991 to preserve, protect and promote the Shiloh Shepherd,,. It is a democratically run club. Members have always participated in electing "Board" representatives. Our constitution was voted in by 103 of the 119 members in 1993. We have continued to grow (despite the 4 month set back in 1997) and have thus far published over 40 newsletters in the past 15 years. All of our historical data can be researched via our Learning Center site map."

Official ISSR Webpage

"The International Shiloh Shepherd,, Registry, Inc. is the only registry authorized to recognize a dog as a Shiloh Shepherd,,. The ISSR was formed to protect the public from purchasing a dog falsely represented to be a Shiloh Shepherd,,and to protect the genetic future of the breed. Thus, only dogs having a certificate of registration issued by the ISSR may be considered a Shiloh Shepherd,,."

ISSR Licensed Breeders:

If you are thinking about bringing a Shiloh Shepherd into your home, please make sure that you are purchasing your pup from a ISSR Licensed Breeder. A pup from any other breeder cannot be guarantied as a REAL Shiloh Shepherd and may have unknown lineage. In addition, non-ISSR "Shilohs" often have health and temperament problems that can be expensive and emotionally painful to deal with.

There are many ISSR Licensed Breeders all over the US and in Canada as well as a few upcoming breeders in other regions such as Australia and the Netherlands. To help you find a ISSR Licensed Breeder close to you, I've compiled a list of some of the known ISSR Breeders. Of course, this is not a complete list of all ISSR Licensed Breeders, so please check out the links below to learn more about who is and who is NOT a ISSR breeder.
