False Claims
These false prophets
start out by claiming that "through the years
Shiloh Shepherd breeders have been leaving the registry/club of origin
(ISSR/SSDCA) to be joined by others who are brave enough to make their
own way through the perils and hardships of making a new breed
come into a realization."
I think our
matrix
clearly proves that only 14% of those that joined my program have
actually left to join the "ranks of the slivers".
If you compare these
statistics to those of other types of "club" memberships you will find
that we actually have a low rate of attrition, despite all of the gossip
and political strife that we constantly deal with!
Just sit back and think
about your church group. How many people have come and gone over
the past 15 years? Why?
In some cases, people
move, or even die--that's life! Pastors don't cry over loosing
"false messiahs" that have infiltrated the flock! Instead, they look
forward to new members that are seeking the TRUTH! As long as the
group is growing, it proves that they are doing something right! If
you contact any long time "Dog people" (any breed) I am sure that
they will tell you that ALL dog "clubs" are full of "politics" and
they loose more "newbie breeders" than we ever have!
The part that got me was <<
make their own way through the perils and hardships of making a
new breed come into a realization.">>
Wow! Are these
people saying that THEY are "creating" the Shiloh Shepherd?
1. First of all, they have three
"registries". Obviously they can't even agree on what dogs
should/should not qualify.
2. They are breeding to
AKC German Shepherds!! So are they creating a "new" German Shepherd
or a "new" Shiloh Shepherd or maybe just a "new" King Shepherd?
Please read
Shiloh Shepherd - GSD - LHGSD or Just Mixed Mutts!
Or are they just
pumping out mutts that they want to charge a lot of money for? Be sure
to read my
Wall of Shame!
3. They claim to be
using my breed standard--but they refuse to follow my
guidelines! What's wrong with this picture? I have heard of multiple
"clubs", but multiple "registries" using
different rules while developing the same dog?
Just take a moment to view the kind of "paperwork" they
approve of!! The ESSR
system??
Who do they think
they are fooling?
These people call
themselves "Ethical Breeders" yet all of the "facts" that they present
are nothing but twisted lies! What's so "ethical" about that?
From their website:
<<Here are a few facts that I am sure a lot newer people may not know.
The Shiloh Shepherd became a rare breed in 1991. That means it has only
been called Shiloh Shepherds for 13 years. How many know that us
"splinters" have been "splinters" since 1997? So if you do the math we
have been around more than half the years the breed has been in
existence:-)>>
1. The "Shiloh
Shepherd" was recognized as a separate "rare breed" still under
development in 1990, for showing purposes only! I have pictures of these
dogs being exhibited with
several rare breed clubs during that time! ARBA did not even exist
until '91 and did not even open a "registry" until much later.
It took me over two
decades to establish the gene pool that would produce some dogs that
conformed to the breed standard (my
blue print) for the future "Shiloh Shepherd". The shows provided a
good venue to help me with proper selection of acceptable future
breeding stock! That's all!
Awarding titles to faulty/inferior dogs that should not be bred is just
a waste of time! Please read
Brokenhearted Breed Founder!
However, because of the
high prices that "show" pups were getting, everyone wanted to breed
their dogs! That's what caused the problems! They didn't care about
the future welfare of the "breed" they just wanted to sell puppies!
Others left because of the gossip and political wars that were
constantly ranging over the ISSR rules. They just didn't like the
fact that I had set up strict rules to protect this breed--so they
started accusing me of being a dictator, etc.
Now they claim that some of them have been around since 1997--well,
that's not "half as long" as the "Shilohs" existed--because they started
in 1974! I have copies of old
Dog World ads to prove it! That adds up
to 32 years!
In other words, they
did not even come into the picture or know what I was doing until the
job was almost done! Yet, now--out of the blue--those "new" people are
going to "create" my breed? I think not!
Have you read
everything I have said? Now look at this!
<<Another fact is that many of us have been around a long time. Some
before the Shiloh Shepherd was called Shilohs. Many of us have been
around since 1992, '93, '94, '95, '96.>>
They
clearly claim that some of "them" have been around since even before the
Shiloh Shepherd was called "Shilohs"! Then they list the
'90's--HELLO--the Shiloh Shepherds have been around since the '60's!
Yes, I have been breeding their ancestors since 1962! I changed my
kennel name in 1974, and started adding the Shiloh prefix on my dogs in
the '70's but they still came from my kennel! please read
Kennel of Origin.
BTW.
does that mean that anyone that purchased a puppy from me in the '70's
or '80's can consider themselves as being a "Shiloh" breeder? Gee, I bet
they never knew that! Wow! If this is true, there must be thousands of
people out there that should be claiming this newly discovered title!
ROTFLOL!
<<We
have been compiling a list of non-ISSR breeders that are still actively
breeding and the year they became involved with the Shiloh Shepherd.>>
First signs of a bit of
truth! The list they published actually lists the year those people
actually either first heard of Shiloh Shepherds or first got a Shiloh
Shepherd! What they forgot to do is mention is every Shiloh Shepherd
owner! If they had done that, you would see over 4,000 people listed
from the 70's and 80's too! Never mind the hundreds of people that have
purchased Shiloh Shepherds every year since then!
By
now they should have in excess of 7,000 names listed!
Yet, I was only able to count 28! What's
wrong with this picture?
<<If
you look at the ISSR breeders matrix, there are NO breeders still with
them and actively breeding before 1996!>>
Another misstatement!
Pat Urso joined us in 1992 and is having her first litter this year!
Barb Cullen also just had one and is planning to have another this year,
etc. etc.
Furthermore, we have
some extremely strict requirements! Besides signing the
Breeders Code of Ethics, maintaining membership in the SSDCA, each
breeder must agree to and live up to our
Licensed Breeder Requirements!
We don't just let "anyone" in! First, you have to be a member of the
SSDCA (and that in itself consists of an approval process) for one year,
sign the Breeders Code and then register a kennel name with the ISSR
prior to being allowed on OSS as a Licensed Breeder in Training for
another two years. If you pass all of the requirements (including
completion of homework assignments) you graduate to the LB status. You
can't just buy a pet and become a breeder! Despite all of these rules,
people often give up before they even graduate!
If you want the truth,
just read the
matrix! We tell it like it is!
