Purchasing a Shiloh Shepherd is a huge investment in time and money. Caring for him/her after your purchase can be a daunting experience as well. Questions about nutrition, all the forms you have to fill out, etc. abound. Who should you call for information? Tina comes immediately to mind, and while as the breed founder she is the ultimate authority on Shilohs, past, present and future, she does have a life to lead. Being called upon to answer basic questions from 8 AM (or earlier) until 2 AM, as she is now, does not give her time to be able to think, live a normal life or spend the time needed to work toward the future development of the Shiloh into the 21st century and beyond. Tina is monitoring the ShilohShepherdFriends forum almost daily. If you have computer access, we urge you to join. She will answer your questions there. Be sure to check the archives for questions that may have been asked in the past. Please do not call her if you have questions about the messages on the list! (If you have any trouble joining the list, please contact the list administrator.) For those with an interest in becoming a breeder and who meet the criteria, please contact the club secretary about joining the OriginalShilohShepherds forum. We are also updating our FAQs and our Learning Center, but again, in order to do this, she must be freed from the constant phone calls. If, however, you want to talk with someone and/or do not have computer access, here are some guidelines: For information about upcoming litters of Shiloh Shepherds, please contact individual breeders. Please note: The ISSR (International Shiloh Shepherd Registry) in no way endorses these breeders, makes no claims of, nor is responsible for, any breeder/client relationship or contracts, written or verbal, which arise from contact made through this site.
