The Shiloh Shepherd breed was founded by Tina Barber as a means of preserving the old type German Shepherd Dog. Barber is the President of the Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club of America and, through this group, attempts to guide the breed’s continuing development. However, there has been considerable controversy within the breed, and other organizations were founded in competition with hers.
