Many foundation members of the International Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club (ISSDC) have been deeply involved in the  Shiloh Shepherd world since its official acceptance as a Rare Breed, way back in 1991!  Since then, there have been a few registries formed to accept the Shiloh Shepherd, all of which share the same goal in bettering the breed and maintaining the highest of breeding protocol.  The ISSDC consists of a very strong and ever multiplying coalition of breeders and owners. Our members either have very in-depth breeding experience, or have simply chosen to be owned by one (or MANY MORE!) of these wonderful dogs.  We prefer to be a non-political group whose purpose is to promote the Shiloh Shepherd as not only a great family dog, but also in the show ring and working disciplines as well.  We recognize Shiloh Shepherd dogs of all registries, specifically when their pedigrees reflect the same Shiloh Shepherd ancestors.  We 'show' our Shiloh's to celebrate their beauty, and we 'work' our Shiloh's to celebrate their intelligence.  We LOVE our Shiloh's, and we strive to protect our breed for future generations.

What makes the ISSDC unique is that it is an international club which includes the support and participation of two national and international Shiloh Shepherd registries. The registries are:

• National Shiloh Breeders Registry (NSBR)
• The Shiloh Shepherd Registry (TSSR)

These registries came together under a unified club allegiance so breeders have the opportunity to work together by sharing information, brain storming ideas and bringing together diversity to produce the best possible Shiloh Shepherds for years to come. International summits, combined decades of breeders experience, and schooled genetics knowledge are unified to keep the integrity of the Shiloh Shepherd we all know and love.
