Prior to its designation as a Shiloh Shepherd, the foundations of the breed were registered AKC German Shepherd Dogs. The following dogs have been added to various breeding programs after creation of the original all-Shiloh registry in 1991, the ISSR. These dogs, however, do contain the same foundations lines as Shiloh Shepherds within their pedigree.

Chani was introduced by Tina Barber in hopes to regain size and add diversity from lines that Tina liked, but had lost. A 2019 DNA analysis of ISSA gene pool by UC Davis has shown no wolfdog influence within their lines. ISSA & ISSR registries were primary users of the Chani line.
