"Some of the breeders profiled on this page are "stud only" kennels. They are most respectfully represented because excellent stud dogs are an invaluable asset to any breeding program. The year listed beside each kennel name indicates the breeders first year of involvement with what has ultimately become the breed of dog called the Shiloh Shepherd. This date is not an indication of how long each of these kennels have been actively breeding, although many have indeed been breeding since the first year of their involvement. A few of the kennels listed are no longer actively involved in breeding, or Shiloh Shepherds in general, but have chosen to become part of the ISSDC in order to be listed here - therein showing their support of our membership and breed club.
