Product Description
John Patrick Grace of The Publishers Place announced today the publication of The Shiloh Shepherd Story: Against the Wind--A Breed is Born, by Tina M. Barber and Cinnamon Kennedy. We believe this book to be the first of its kind! We have done extensive research back to the early 1900's and were unable to find any memoirs of a breed founder! This will truly make this Limited Edition a collectors item, if not your own personal keepsake! Lavishly illustrated, this 230 est. page book with over 80 est. pictures and a full color insert, details the struggles that Ms. Barber has overcome in her 40-year attempt to create a breed of dog that would live up to her vision of the "Ultimate Companion". Ms. Barber recounts the difficulties in creating her own genetic lines as well as her fight to enforce the standards needed to protect the strength and health of the breed she has developed. While overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles with immense resilience and perseverance, Ms. Barber credits all success to God. This stirring and ultimately inspiring book is available now in a numbered Special Limited Edition, personally signed by the author. Only 450 beautiful Limited Editions will be printed. Each book will have a soft padded cover with a royal blue page marker ribbon and a slip box to protect your investment.

Tina Barber is a modern day hero June 13, 2008

I strongly recommend this book to dog lovers who have been disheartened by the dishonesty and greed that is an all too common part of the experience when dealing with breeders. This book will re-awaken your faith in humankind and provide you with the assurance that there is still a breed of dog out there that is the intelligent and gentle hero that you have read about in story books, an ISSR Shiloh Shepherd. I bought my first ISSR Shiloh a few months ago and had her shipped to me from New York to Oklahoma. This dog is everything that was described to me and more. It was not until after I had my dog that I bought the book, now I understand that truely great things are not created without a vision and an incredible amount of sacrifice, determination and faith. Read the book, but don't be surprised if your next purchase is a Shiloh Shepherd.

I own an ISSR Shiloh Shepherd. I loved reading about the history and all the blood, sweat and tears that have gone into developing the Shiloh Shepherd! I am truly inspired by Tina Barber's strength and perseverance.
I definitely recommend reading this book! It is a very helpful tool to learn the truth about the Real Shiloh Shepherd and the breed founder.

This book gave a Shiloh owner insight into the intent of the breed founder. Tina has inspired us to do whatever we can to further her dream. She allowed us a brief look into her struggles that shows us how much sacrifice is necessary to live your dream. I am telling everyone I know about this book and letting them know it's a must have!

As our family searched the web and library books for a dog to replace the two beloved "mutts" who had passed on after a good long life, we stumbled across references to the Shiloh Shepherd.
Without much effort we came across Tina's website as well as some of her licenced breeders. The brains, brawn and beauty of what we saw and read left nothing else but for us to buy the book, and learn as much as we could about the founder of this breed.
Needless to say, the story is motivating, at times heartbreaking, insightful, and a story that had to be told as the struggle to maintain and establish this reputable breed continues.
Critics with personal vendettas or self-ineterest aside, no one can argue that Tina, as Breed Founder, has not always put her blueprint and belief in the proper development and evolution of the Shiloh Shepherd at the top of her lifetime agenda.
This book details the 40+ years she has dedicated to the effort, and now as the proud owner of a Shiloh Shepherd pup that descended from her bloodlines through one of her Canadian breeders, here's hoping Tina (aka Ma Shiloh), and this breed, will eventually get the recognition and credit they deserves from the rest of the Dog World Community.
