Seldom seen in the conformation ring, the English Shepherd remains primarily a working dog; bred for soundness and ability rather than appearance. This has allowed them to avoid the exaggerated features and accompanying health issues seen in some show breeds. Genetic diversity is also improved because several of the breed's registries do not have a closed studbook, and instead offer a process where unregistered individuals can be reviewed and after three generations their offspring allowed into the studbook.

The now defunct Southeastern Kennel Club was the first to register the English Shepherd, although breeders shifted to the United Kennel Club (UKC) when it recognized the breed in 1927. In 1950 Tom Stodghill’s Animal Research Foundation (ARF) also began to register the breed and was used to create a studbook supporting the first English Shepherd breed club, the English Shepherd Club of America (ESCOA). Tom Stodghill had a preference for black and tan colored dogs, considering them the highest class of the breed; an opinion that not all breeders agreed with. The ESCOA petitioned the AKC for recognition of black and tan English Shepherds in 1953, but was unsuccessful.

Ed Emanuel had been the first judge licenced by the ESCOA and when he left to help found the ESC, he launched the International English Shepherd Registry (IESR) which operated independently from the club.

By 1956 the IESR had expanded to include other breeds, particularly the closely related Australian Shepherd, and today operates as the National Stock Dog
