Homecoming 2011

 Tina Barber, our beloved breed founder, passed away on Memorial Day of this year so Homecoming was a very special event.  We sadly missed her presence (I think we always will)  but her daughter Lisa picked up the reins with dignity, knowledge and strength and we know "All is well" with our ISSR Shiloh Shepherds.            

                                                             Best of Breed on Sunday

                                                                  Best in Show on Friday

                                           Z met his daughter Hera, who lives in North Carolina
In addition to his ISSR adult breed championship, Z has earned his National and International Adult Championship  from IABCA. It's been a busy year but lots of fun!

1. Hi!  They call me Z and these are some photos of me at my home in Collins, New York.  I didn't have far to drive 'cause it's close to the place where I was born...New Zion...home of the breed founder, Tina Barber.  Seems like we have lots of snow here but I love it and there's lots of room to run and play with my buddy Pepper, the black lab!  She thinks she's pretty special, being a therapy dog...maybe I'll think about doing that when I "grow up"!  I didn't know I'd be doing that "show dog" thing but it's fun; Mom and I have met LOTS of nice people and great looking Shilohs. I started with Rick and then his wife Jan sort of stepped in and has been doing a great job of showing me how to win lots of ribbons 'n stuff.  I still get to visit Tina and her daughter Lisa when I need to brush up on "things"; Mom likes the way they help her (she's sort of an "older lady" and I'm already a pretty big guy).  I know, I can be a handful...but she LOVES ME and I'm really SO sweet!   So lets go back to the beginning...
