What is an Outcross (OTX)?
An Outcross is a non-Shiloh Shepherd dog that has been used in the breeding program. Throughout the development of the Breed, several Outcrosses have been used. [click on the names for more info]
Moved forward …
These dogs have progeny that have moved forward within the breeding program and can be found within the pedigrees of many Shiloh Shepherds as official Outcrosses.

Samson-Woo’s heritage is the source of much speculation and rumor:
- There has been a persistent rumor of Samson-Woo being part wolf, but no evidence to-date, supports this claim.
- He is alleged to have been born in a satellite breeding program to produce screen doubles for the TV show “The Littlest Hobo”.
- There has been no evidence shown that he is a direct descendent of the famous London.

Chani was introduced by Tina Barber in hopes to regain size and add diversity from lines that Tina liked, but had lost.
- Reported to have been an AKC registered GSD, (unable to verify this at this time)
- her sire and dam were AKC registered GSDs
- Acquired by ISSR after having whelp a litter sired by a wolfdog
- She then apparently was dual-registered as a “foundation stock” with the “American Wolfdog Registry” – (unable to verify this at this time)
- 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.
