I am an ISSR Shiloh Shepherd

Thirty years ago, Tina Barber had a vision and a dream to create a very specific kind of dog--A dog that would seem to come directly from the heart of God! Though her path was full of disappointments, betrayals, and hardships, her perseverance and her faith in God prevailed! Tina is the certified breed founder of the beautiful, intelligent and great-hearted ISSR Shiloh Shepherd. I am so proud and blessed to be a Shiloh Shepherd!

Please see the links at the bottom of my page to many info sources for the Shiloh Shepherd and Tina!

Humble Beginnings

I was born at Tina's New Zion Shiloh Kennel in New York on April 8th of 2009. I have six brothers and sisters. Cheyenne and Warba are my parents. I was temporarily named "Lavendar Girl" at the kennel. At 8 weeks of age, Tina ran each of us pups through a Litter Evaluation Test. This is where she , and accompanying ISSR breeders, can rate us on our temperaments, our prey drive, our intelligence, our shyness with loud noises, and more. The report (LER) that Tina compiles afterward, on each of us, indicates to her which pup goes to which buyer, based on their specifications. The LER also indicates where we might excel in the future; for example, Search and Rescue, Agility, Obedience, etc. Tina is very, very good at matching pups to humans. So are her fellow ISSR Shiloh Shepherd Breeders.
