Your breeder will be more than happy to help you with detailed questions about registration, but here are the simple steps to remember when registering your Shiloh. We encourage everyone to go through the registration process even if your pup will be a pet companion rather than a show or breed prospect - keeping track of our pups helps our breeders understand just how well our breeding program is working and helps us assess the impact of our health initiatives.
For our breeding dogs there are stringent health tests which they must undergo - results must be submitted for verification as part of the registration process.
