TSSR Year End Awards

Each year the TSSR honors special dogs who do exceptionally well in the conformation ring. Our Grand Victor/Grand Victrix earn their titles by meeting the criteria set forth by the registry. Not only must TSSR Shiloh(s) have earned their Breed Championships and earned the highest number of NS points in conformation, they must also fulfill requirements for Adult Breeding Registration Certificates as well. Calculation of GV/NS points is based on the number of Shilohs beaten in a show. These points are received when a Shiloh wins BOB or BOS (Best of Breed or Best of Opposite sex).

The TSSR National Select titles are awarded to the next 10 highest NS points earning Shilohs. If there are not 10 Shilohs who qualify, the awards will only be awarded to the number of Shiloh Shepherds who do qualify under the TSSR criteria.

The TSSR GV/NS titles reward a job well done in the conformation ring, but the award also strives to promote breed improvement through sound breeding programs. This mean that all GV/NS recipients have fulfill the requirements set forth in TSSR rules to qualify for breeding registration. Adult registrations may be applied for and issued with a PennHip report complete for Shilohs 18-months or older.

Young Shiloh of the Year is awarded to a Shiloh less then two years old and usually goes to a young Shiloh between the ages of six months and two years that excelled in the show ring by being presented BOB or BOS numerous times, has earned their Jr Breed Championship but does not have final health testing completed.

Puppy of the Year awarded to Shilohs between two and six months of age having earned BOB numerous times.
