| At Dayspring Shilohs - June 2007 |
I live in the
beautiful foothills of North Carolina.
I live with my husband,
Lee, on 22 acres of woods and pasture. We live next door to my parents, and between us we have 5 cats, 4 horses, 1 pony,
3 rabbits and of course, my 2 Shilohs.
After spending
many hours researching, I decided I wanted a Shiloh Shepherd. But not just any Shiloh, I wanted to make sure I was getting
the real thing. So I called the Breed Founder herself, Tina Barber. Soon I was in contact with her daughter,
Lisa.
Before you knew it I was picking up my puppy at the airport.
That was just last January, 2006. Well, now I am hooked!
To make a long story short, the last year has been wonderful. Please check out Marlie's page! I decided to
attend the Ohio Buckeye Classic, a rare breeds show that was held at a pet expo. It was there that my love for
this breed grew even more as well as an opportunity to meet some of the people involved with the ISSR and the SSDCA.
And what a wondeful group of people they have turned out to be! In fact, the community and the sense of family
within these organizations played a role in an important decision I made later in the year.
I attended 2 more shows and went to my first Homecoming. Somewhere along
the way, I made that important decision to become a LBIT, a licensed breeder in training with the OSSA ( orginal shiloh
shepherd academy) . I look forward to gaining more knowledge about the breeding of these magnificant dogs,
knowing I have the support and mentoring of the ISSR Licensed Breeders, a truly dedicated and amazing group of
dog lover's.
