About the Author
Tina Barber has been involved with German Shepherd Dogs all of her life. She started her own training kennel and breeding program in 1962 and then later, after her conversion to evangelical Christianity in 1974, changed her kennel name to Shiloh Shepherds. Since that time she has continued to pursue her dream of developing the ultimate companion. Since leaving the Rochester, New York area in 1978, Tina has endured many trials and tribulations as she forged on, overcoming nearly insurmountable obstacles in order to bring her dream to fruition. In The Shiloh Shepherd Story, she shares some of the heartbreaks she had to endure during these trying decades. However, she also shares many of the miraculous victories that she has been privileged to witness! Her faith has kept her strong, and the prayers of her Christian family and loyal Shiloh fanciers have undoubtedly been a force in protecting this breed from becoming extinct! Tina's goal is to take you behind the scenes in the development of these dogs, as well as to share the unique spiritual journey she has traveled throughout these many decades. From the Author Alot of people look upon these dogs as being straight from the heart of God, because of the miraculous way they came into being-and rightly so! If not for the Lord, and his guidance, I'm sure that I could have never managed to continue to follow my vision for all of these decades. Even with the many trials & tribulations that I had to endure, I know that he is with me and that he "preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies." (Ps.23:5)

It all happened so fast there was nothing I could have done to stop it. There was no way a dog in that state of frenzy could be expected to do anything but bite Johnny to death. I had seen dogs worked up to such a pitch, that would even turn and bite their handlers if they got too close.
But this dog Tammy just stopped. She stopped in mid-air to avoid hurting my baby. Instinctively Tammy knew the difference between an enemy and a child, and she knew how to switch gears in a fraction of a second. I hadn't seen....
