“My connection to the Shiloh Shepherd is both personal and historical. Having been involved with the breed since there were only 500 in existence, I have spent nearly three decades devoted to their preservation. This deep-rooted history is the foundation of Island Shiloh’s.

As a psychoanalyst, I have found these intuitive creatures to be the perfect partners in the therapeutic journey. By integrating Shiloh’s into my home-based practice, I have seen firsthand how they serve as a therapeutic bridge for patients navigating PTSD, cancer, and complex trauma. I feel very fortunate to balance the seriousness of my clinical work with such grounding, loving companions.

To ensure our dogs possess the ‘steady soul’ required for this sensitive work, every dog at Island Shiloh’s undergoes rigorous health and temperament screening before breeding. Our goal is to ensure they are as sound in body as they are in spirit.

Today, most of my progeny, including all the females residing with me, serve as therapy or service animals. It is my greatest joy to see our puppies continue this legacy of companionship, providing comfort and care to those who need it most. They truly embody the deep bond between humans and dogs that I have cherished for 30 years.
