About Us
Meister Shiloh Shepherds is now located in the small town of Brookville, in the Western Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania.
Our four Shiloh's, Jaeger, Tarran, Galen and Lucien share their home with our Beagle Mix Comet who came to us as a rescue from an abusive home and our latest addition Ted, our blue and white parakeet. They are being raised as members of the family and have been trained in Puppy Kindergarten, Obedience and Advanced Obedience. We believe that well trained and well socialized dogs make well rounded pets.
We became interested in the Shiloh Shepherd Breed approximately 6 years ago. Through Judy Vaneman's willingness to share her vast knowledge we have learned much about this wonderful breed and have been blessed with four wonderful additions to our family.
Our breeding program focuses on maintaining the healthy, large sized, heavy boned, stable tempered of the Shiloh's of the past. We thoroughly research any potential breeding and only accept those that fall within our vision of the breed and have the potential to improve the existing gene pool. Not simply to produce "cute" puppies but with a vision towards the future. We are extremely proud of the litters our boys have sired thus far, and look forward to seeing them contribute to the future.
We are proud to have been involved in the development and implementation of the NSBR's EPIC Program. This program rewards dogs who have been either extensively health tested and/or are being utilized in a working capacity. We were further honored when Jaeger was awarded both his Epic Health and Working title. We are also thrilled to be a part of the NSBR's first EPIC litter thanks to Timber, who is also an EPIC Health Award winning Bitch. The extensive testing undergone by the parents, will assist you the prospective buyer to make an informed decision regarding the potential health of these puppies.
I was honored to be named Secretary of the International Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club ( ISSDC ) from 2004 to 2008. In this capacity I was involved in the organization of the Breed Club which unites three of the existing Shiloh Shepherd Registries.
Laurie and I were likewise honored to be named to the NSBR's (National Shiloh Breeder's Registry) Board of Director's , where we will strive to improve the Shiloh Shepherd Breed.
