DNA kits are available to ALL Shiloh Shepherd owners, regardless of club or registry affiliation.
How TSSR is Assisting in the Shiloh Shepherd Diversity Study?

TSSR’s long-standing relationship with UC Davis has allowed us to obtain special pricing for ADDING the Shiloh Shepherd Diversity Study to existing DNA samples on file at UC Davis (both during the research phase and beyond). TSSR offered the service AT COST to assist with this study. update 1/2025: research phase pricing has ended as study progresses to next phase
Learn More about the Study [HERE]

TSSR & UC Davis' Over 20 Year Relationship
Since 2003 the TSSR has worked with UC Davis maintaining the largest collection of Shiloh Shepherd DNA samples. Over the course of over 20 years, over 765 samples and counting are stored at UC Davis. Thus, we are easily able to match parentage when provided with the sire/dam DNA numbers.

How do I add Diversity Study to existing Parentage Match?

UC Davis has offered TSSR a special price to ADD the Diversity Panel to an existing sample if the stored sample is large enough. The test is ordered for the above listed price and if dog will need to be re-swabbed, new kits will be sent. If the dog is deceased or unable to re-swab for any reason, a refund of the testing price will be made.

How do I add Parentage to an existing Diversity Test?

UC Davis Diversity Panel does NOT match for parentage DNA. Contact us if you have run this panel and need assistance getting parentage matched. UC Davis will do this match for no additional charge.

How do I add DM test to a Parentage Result?

For your convenience, UC Davis will do an add-on test for DM if their existing sampling is large enough. Contact us if you are interested in adding this test.

Why isn't Embark good enough?
It is important to note that Embark may offer parentage DNA, HOWEVER, the dog + its sire and dam BOTH would need to be tested by Embark in order to match for parentage DNA
