Thursday

 

Despite having only 2 weeks notice and a last second change in location, 46 Shilohs (including 5 littermates!) and their proud owners traveled from all parts of the US (Seattle, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Delaware, Massachusetts, Virginia, Maryland, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio) to attend the 26th annual Homecoming, held this year at the Woodstream Campground in Gainesville, NY.  With a more flexible and open-ended schedule than in years past, which became even more open-ended due to Tina's illness on Thursday, every one who attended had a rousing good time! We hope you enjoy these pictures of each day's events!

The day began with registration and then a handling class taught by Lisa Barber and Lyn Segee, with welcome assistance from Audrey Harrison and Shiloh!

Later that afternoon, Lisa with the aid of many of those in attendance (the friendly stranger, the "farm animal", the hidden noise, the bell ringer, the umbrella opener, the gun firer, and the threatening stranger) performed temperament tests.

Yearly since 1974, Shiloh Shepherd™ owners and fanciers from across the continent (and beyond)  have had the privilege of attending Homecoming, an event started by our Breed Founder, Tina Barber, and sponsored, since 1991, by the Shiloh Shepherd™ Dog Club of America, Inc.

Unfortunately we have not been able to share the original pictures taken prior to 1998 due to the tragedy that befell the original Shiloh Shepherds farm, but some of them may still be seen inside of the old Newsletters!!

Thanks to Rich Lewis and Karen Ursel, we have been able to recreate ALL of the recent years, since 1996, and would like to share these pages with you!
