The International Shiloh Shepherd Alliance (ISSA) is an educationally-minded group of club members and breeders. Our mission is to preserve this unique rare breed and carry it forward into the future. Vigorous health testing takes place before breeding, to include temperament testing, hip and elbow x-rays, holter monitoring (heart EKG), heart auscultation testing, degenerative myelopathy DNA testing, and DNA on file with UC-Davis. ISSA Licensed breeders perform extensive temperament testing on their litters at eight weeks of age, to determine each pup's base aptitude and drive. This information is to help YOU get the best pup for your family!

Puppy Selection
The best human and dog relationships come from matching the right dog personality to the right people personality. For that reason, we do not promise specific puppies to any client until after the Litter Evaluation Review (LER) is complete and the puppy’s temperament and quality has been determined. The LER is performed by a Certified LER Tester once the puppies reach 8 weeks old and includes a series of tests and evaluations designed to identify the core traits of the puppy (i.e., submission, people focus, prey drive, etc.).
At the LER each puppy’s conformation and temperament is judged and assessed. The LER will also identify how closely the puppy meets the breed standard and therefore whether or not they would qualify for breeding papers. If the puppy is found to have excellent conformation and a sound temperament, they will be categorized as Breed Quality. If the puppy possesses minor faults and/or is not required to continue the breeding program, they will be classified as Pet-Upgradable or Pet Quality.
After the LER, the breeder and evaluator will carefully consider each applicant’s desires/lifestyles to the needs/qualities of each puppy for the perfect match. We do our best to provide an appropriate match for each of our clients, but if the perfect puppy is not available in the current litter we will gladly move the client to our next available litter or work with the client to find an appropriate solution. Matching the puppy’s personality to your own personality and lifestyle is the most important factor in creating a rich and rewarding relationship.

Breed Quality
These puppies are fully guaranteed to be exceptional representatives of the Breed. These are our future potential champions who should be taken out and SHOWN! Breeding is a requirement and showing is highly encouraged! These best specimen puppies are sold only on co-ownership agreements/contracts.
Price is $4,000
Pet-Upgradable/Pet Quality
We wanted to be clear that no matter the “quality” of Shiloh you purchase, they are all still gorgeous and impressive animals and it is important to note that only someone who has studied and trained their eye to see the details of a Shiloh and the Breed Standard will recognize any significant difference. They still stop traffic everywhere they go, and ultimately it is their golden personality that will make them the greatest pet you have ever shared your life with.
Price is $3,500
Deposits and Prepayments
Please fill out the required Puppy Application. As demand is usually greater than supply and our litters tend to sell out quickly, we recommend you reserve or secure a puppy early, this is especially true of breed and show quality pups as the supply of these pups is not as plentiful in any given litter. To reserve a space on our puppy list, a $500 deposit is mandatory. Final payment is due when you pick up your puppy. Puppies will be available to go to their new homes following the litter evaluation. Preferred payment is PayPal.
If we do not produce what you are looking for (i.e. you are looking for a male and we produce all females) then we will gladly refund your deposit. If you change your mind or decide to go with another breeder/breed then the deposit is non-refundable. Deposits may be carried over to the next year for a maximum of two years.
Prior to sending a deposit on a pup, please contact us to either check on availability in our litters and/or to give us a chance to review your request.
Shipping
We prefer not to ship live animals apart from their human companions being with them. While it is the buyer's responsibility to pick up their new puppy from Moonshine Shiloh's Kennel located in the tropical and beautiful Florida Keys, if you are unable to pick up your puppy in person, arrangements may be made for a personal delivery through Moonshine Shilohs Kennel.
