Testimonials

Both of my Shiloh girls are from New Zion. I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I am with this breed. I used to have German Shepherds . The only way I can describe the difference is like going from gold plated to 24K gold. These gorgeous dogs are solid through and through! They have an uncanny almost human personality.

Sophie is my first Shiloh Shepherd out of the Sage/Grizz 2004 litter. She is incredibly smart and lovable. She is very sensitive to my emotions and when I am upset will actually come and hug me.

My second Shiloh Shepherd is Emma. Emma has beautiful structure and got me into the show ring. Her temperament is exactly what I told New Zion I wanted. I could not have asked for a more perfect girl. Emma has also brought me into breeding. She had a beautiful litter of puppies, and after one of her pups took a Best in Show I could not have been more proud. Lisa and Tina helped me through a pretty rough time for Emma after she had her puppies. They were there to listen and give me the support I needed. Because of all this and these two beautiful girls I have decided to become a Licensed Breeder in Training.

Thank you Tina for developing my dream dog! And thanks to both Tina and Lisa for my Shiloh girls.

“We are very pleased to introduce you to our ISSR Shiloh Shepherd, Cooper, born on May 19, 2008. His parents are Leah and Acer of the ISSR New Zion Shiloh Shepherds. This is the kennel that belongs to Tina & Lisa Barber. Tina Barber is the breed founder of these amazing dogs.
Since the day we brought him home we have just been amazed at how smart and sweet he is. He settled right in. We cannot thank Tina enough for picking out the perfect puppy for us. It was quite by accident that we discovered that Shiloh Shepherds existed. About 15 years or so ago we attended the Nassau Coliseum Pet Expo in New York. While walking around the show we spotted the biggest most magnificent shepherd lying calmly and regally at a booth. That was our first introduction to the Shiloh Shepherd. Sixteen years after that show we lost our beloved dogs, Becky and Blue. We never forgot the impression this beautiful Shiloh we had met years before left on us. We decided that we would love to have a Shiloh Shepherd. When researching how to best go about getting our own Shiloh we found Tina Barber and the New Zion Shilohs website. In a little twist of irony it turns out that it was Tina that we met at the Pet Expo 15 years ago and it was the magnificent Lazarus that we were introduced to that day that left such an impression on us! It has been a match made in heaven. It took us 16 years to get here but it was well worth the wait. We could not be happier with our beautiful ISSR Shiloh boy! He is such a joy and a very important part of our family!”

With best regards,

Geri, Livio & Cooper

What can I say about this most wonderful dog. When I spoke to Tina about the dog I wanted, I specifically did not want a black faced dog. I wanted more of a golden sable. When the Leah/Acer litter was born in May, 2008 and I got a glimpse of "Pink Girl" with the black face I was hooked. It was at that moment that I realized color didn't matter at all but the expression on her little face. I have to say, I do love the compliments she gets for her beauty but I love it even more when people say how sweet she is. I love my girl and to say she is amazing is an understatement.

I am also glad to know that her brother Cooper lives nearby and they get to play with each other. To see one Shiloh is great, to see two Shilohs if fantastic.

My thanks to Tina for giving me this wonderful girl. She could not have made a more perfect match.

Thanks

Ella "boots" is my first Shiloh. She is almost 2 years old now and she is out of the 2008 Snow/Blue litter. She in incredibly smart and she is very independent. Ella has changed my life in many ways, she was so smart and easy to teach, I have decided to train and breed dogs for a living! I couldn't be happier with Boots. I will always have a Shiloh in my life. Thank you Tina for giving us this awesome breed Robin, Jay and Ella "boots"

As I sit/lay here post-op, a new side of my boy has appeared. He will retrieve his favorite squeaky toy time and time again, placing it right in my hand (after months of running off with it!). He then jumps on the hide-a-bed with his warm body stretched out next to me and looks up as if to say "time to rest, Mom".
Z is truly the "gift that keeps on giving"; thank you Shiloh Community! I cannot imagine how empty life would be without him!

Hi Tina & Lisa,

When I was talking to you Lisa about the Dreamer litter & I asked what you was expecting from that litter - "rich colors" was one of the things you said. Well attached is a picture of Kyna (Kyna is on the right, with the black spot in the middle of her tongue) with Rhedyn. One of the first things I noticed when looking at this picture was Kyna's coloring - I think it is gorgeous!

Well, coloring is not the whole package. I have to tell you that Kyna is an amazing dog. She is funny, happy, playful, sweet and very expressive! I love her woo woo's when she is telling me all about something or saying hello when I come home from work! I don't think there will be another one like her - I love her to pieces, she has my heart!!!

Thank you, to both of you, for your dedication to these dogs!

Thank you so much for Koda, he is just an awesome dog. All who know him love him. As a puppy he was quite a handful, very mischievous, but a lot of fun. Now he has grown into a beautiful, intelligent, loving, protective dog. He is very playful, loves to play Frisbee, ball and swimming. He is always up for anything. He has outgrown most of the mischievousness, but there is always a twinkle in his eyes.

I have loved many dogs over the years, but these dogs are really special, they are almost human (actually I like them better than humans). I will always want a Shiloh Shepherd by my side.

Thank you for this wonderful breed.

In October 2009 I decided that I was ready to bring a dog back into my life, after having been "dogless" for close to 20 years. I researched a lot of different breeds, and the Shiloh Shepherd is the breed that appealed to me the most. Then I researched the many different Shiloh Shepherd breeders and read Tina Barber's book The Shiloh Shepherd Story. Tina's book convinced me that I wanted an ISSR Shiloh Shepherd. I sent an extensive description of the kind of dog I was looking for to Tina and Lisa, and they sent Yuri to me in June 2010. He is everything I asked for and more! I couldn't be happier with him.

I had my heart set on a Nero/Story pup for a whole year. It was through many trials and tribulations that the puppies were finally born. I watched them grow, counting down the days until I'd have puppy breath in the house. When the LER came I left the choice completely up to Tina and Lisa. My husband and I had very specific requests for the type of pup we needed, and I knew we'd get exactly what we wanted by letting them choose.

I was devastated to learn that none of the Nero/Story pups fit what we were looking for. I agreed after many tears to move to another litter, Snow/Quest.

This was the best decision of my life. Torren is everything we asked for and more. He is sweet, silly, playful, cuddly, handsome, extremely smart and friendly, yet protective whenever it's needed. He steals hearts and breaths away wherever we go. He is our dream dog in every way. Thank you SO much, Tina and Lisa, for the companion of a lifetime!

Orion came into my life from New Zion April 2003. He was my precious "golden boy" son of the original Golden Boy, Grizz. Although he was a challenge for me his first few years, he and I became such a team, we could read each other's minds. I lost Orion February 2010 to cancer. I miss him so! He will always be a part of my whole. Thank you Tina and Lisa for giving me my first soul mate dog!

Gunny

I've gotten several Shilohs from New Zion over the years. And, each one is special and wonderful.

Hanna is a smooth coated, golden sable who is the most sweet and gentle girl I've come across. She has a kind and calm and submissive temperament that does wonderful with our son Kai.

Gunny is super confident and outgoing. He loves all people and all animals. Life is an adventure for him and he lives it to the fullest.

I went to my 1st homecoming, visited New Zion and see my Mira and talked Lisa into selling her to me. Now I have 4 females. To me they are so much easier to train. As u see my Male enjoys his job protecting his Ladies.

Nala has added much joy to our lives. Her quirky traits always put a smile on our face or make us laugh out loud. When Nala looks at you with those big brown eyes you just know what she is thinking and feeling. Her goal in life is to acquire constant attention from her human companions, as well as her Shiloh brothers!

Although Nala has an extremely gentle side, she does have moments where the protective Shiloh arises. She sometimes may seem vicious to any unsuspecting intruder. However, all that know and love her realize her bark is louder than her licks!
