GSD fraud? - Page 12

I posted this on the other "GSD fraud" but thought it would be likely overlooked, so am posting again on this thread.

Ok, I am not writing this post to convince anyone to get a Shiloh or even to get you to like them. There has been a lot of misinformation tossed around on this thread about Shilohs, so I would like to tell you of my personal experience with a Shiloh.

I have been a GSD lover and fan since I was a kid. I got my first GSD when I was 10 years old or so. I've had both German working line and showline GSDs. I always said that a GSd was the only dog for me- nothing can compare. My German showline dog died at age 14 in November 2007. I didn't have time for anything like Schutzhund at the time and 6 months after my beloved Bruno died I decided to go ahead and get a rescue GSD- a long coat female. I was not looking for a second dog, but last year a friend of mine in NC knew someone who had Shilohs and died in a plane crash. My friend was trying to place the dogs. Knowing what I had heard and read about Shilohs I had no interest in adopting one. But my friend pressured me (in a nice way) to consider adopting one of the dogs and finally my husband went to see him. Long story short we adopted him and have NO regrets.

He is VERY smart, has a wonderful dispostion, a great personality, a very stable temperament, is gun-sure, is very loyal and would protect in a real life situation if the need was there. He is also a great tracker. He is a perfect family dog. He is also a certified Therapy Dog. When we got him we had his hips x-rayed and the vet said they would probably go OFA good. We had him checked out thoroughly- chest x-ray, urinalysis, fecal, blood work. He is 5 years old and everything came back perfect. He is very healthy.

Out of the last three GSDs I've had, I had one with hip and elbow dysplasia, one with allergies and one with seizures and allergies. Two of these were pink papered German line dogs with excellent pedigrees. We've had no problems with our Shiloh.

Now, as far as size goes (someone mentioned them being no larger than GSDs), he is 28 inches and 105 lbs, a little on the low end for a Shiloh, but never the less he looks enormous next to our 25", 80 lb. female GSD. Not the best picture below, but you can at least get an idea of the size difference between the two. As you can see, he does not have a Collie nose as someone mentioned.  

Sunsilver has given you a wealth of information about the Shiloh history (the true facts- not hearsay) and I don't really think there is anything I could possibly add except that based on my experience and knowledge, I think Tina Barber has developed a wonderful dog. One day her dogs will gain full recognition and she is waiting for the right time to move forward. A breed is not fully developed overnight.

Yes, SP, please, that is one PM I"d love to receive!

He knows he is busted I have seen his house so come on bring on your real user name or are you going to the chicken shit dance again quit hiding behind a woman and step up like the man you are supposed to be. Wimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
