Why are there multiple Shiloh Shepherd registries?
Many breeds, especially rare breeds, have multiple registries. One of the nice things about our country is freedom of choice. Despite proclamations and rhetoric to the contrary, a buyer can choose to purchase a registered Shiloh puppy from any of the currently active registries. Unfortunately not all of them recognize each other so depending on what your goals are, you will need to research your options carefully. Most of the rare breed show forums and other competitive organizations that allow rare breeds to compete, recognize all the current registries so that is not a problem. However, as stated previously, you will need to research outcross puppies more carefully depending on which show forum you want to compete in.
