For a time ASCA used the registration numbers to register the dogs from
National Stockdog Registry, or NSD, a Division of the International
English Shepherd Registry, Inc.

UKC also registers the breed.

National Stockdog Foundation registers English Shepherds. Actually in the
absence of a registry a breed will pretty soon disappear as it is very
difficult for private parties to maintain continguous pedigree records.
Peidgree records are critical to any intelligent breeding.
