THANKS TO THE WIKI, I AM WORKING ON A *BIG8 WEB ARTICLE, SOME OF THIS WILL ALSO BE PUBLISHED IN A MAG!!  I THINK THE WORLD NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH!!  PLEASE LOOK AT http://www.shilohshepherds.info/originalISSRrules.htm  If you read this & the ISSR rules carefully, dogs that do NOT meet the specific requirements set by the ISSR cannot get BREEDING PAPERS ... PERIOD!!  Dogs that are AKC GSD's cannot get ISSR papers making them *INSTANT* Shiloh Shepherds ... DOGS RESCUED FROM SHELTERS CANNOT BECOME "SHILOHS" AND BE BRED!! Get it??  That's why the ISSR rules are so hard to follow .. but without them .. all you have is a GSD MIX!!  PERIOD!!
