Zephyr of Zion

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...
