Shiloh Shepherds? - Page 23

I know Tina personally for decades and I have never herd her bashing GSD as a breed.
I have heard her bash what USA was producing in 60ties and called it GSD.

Tess, you (and some others on this Thread) have got it ALL WRONG.   Tina has not been bashing the GSD.....take your time and re-read what she has to say....or not.   It makes no difference, and I sure she won't lose any sleep over what you think.

I like your new avatar Maggie. He has a pretty head just like his daddy.

I subscribed to Dog World during the years Shiloh Shepherds were still GSD, so I remember all the things said back then as the split was happening, all the wolf talk, all the talk of "Shilohs were created to save these magnificent animals," don't read the revised versions of the Stephanitz book, revisions like in the Bible are why so many people are going to hell (yes, that's a definite Tina quote).

Now, here's a quote from Tina's website today:

"I truly believed then, and still do today, that the (true) German Shepherd is the most awesome breed of dog on earth!"

There you have it.  So if Tina Barber herself says the GSD is the best, why would ANYONE get a Shiloh?  Case closed, in Ms. Barber's own words.

Because they like them?

 

It was a joke, Prager.  Of course get one if you like one.  It's just really funny that after all the puffing up she does about her own breed that she created, she STILL admits that German Shepherds are "the most awesome breed of dog on earth."  So after 40 years at least she admits in writing that what she has created is not as good as the original!!

Prager Hans  probably has the some of the closest dogs to the original gsd than just about anyone else.  If I ever decide to bring home a czech bred pup,  he would be the first I would contact.  his knowledge of these dogs and their genetics are pretty much unmatched.

I don't dislike Tina because of what she breeds.  I really could care less if she was breeding poo's or hybrids.  what I take issue with is what I have read and been told by other people.  I had pedigree's shared with me years ago showing where wolves were used to create the breed, even though Tina says a wolf was never involved.  I was told horror stories about Tina dumping used up breeding dogs at shelters and the dogs were totally unsocialized (very fearful, nervous dogs).  This was when she lived in NY (before the fire?).

I also do not care for her attitude and the quest she is on to discredit other people because they just didn't have her same views.  They have the same right to breed their dogs as they see fit,  the same as she had the right to breed a malamute/gsd cross to her oversized gsd to create the shiloh breed.  She spends a hell of alot of energy posting rubbish on her website about other groups (splinter groups) and going to their shows to take pictures of their dogs.

I also don't care for people producing 20+ litters a year, doesn't matter if they are breeding import VA sch3's or a designer breed.
