Sometimes I think Parker forgets that I'm a real puppy rather than a chew toy... mmmm...May-be she doesn't!

Dakota's Homecoming

Dakota was formally adopted on May 2, 2009 by Liz & Chip. At 9 weeks of age he made the trip from Western New York to Eastern New York a 5+ hour drive. He was a little (really alot) verbal as he left New Zion and Liz, new mom, was a little concerned that it was going to be a REALLY LONG trip home. But in true Shiloh fashion Dakota talked a little every hour or so and kept a lookout the entire way home. (Probably making sure he could find his way back in case he didn't like his new home....Very Smart! but definitely NOT necessary...he loves his new family!)

As soon as we pulled into the driveway, new dad, Chip was there to greet us and take pictures! Then of course there is my new sister a REALLY BIG (uh-oh) German Shepherd named Parker...(not too sure how thrilled she is to see me here..but I'll try hard to win her over!)

Dakota...Previously Known As Marty

Dakota was born on February 27, 2009 at New Zion Kennels, Fillmore, NY. Home of Shiloh Shepherd Breed Founder Tina Barber better known as "Ma Shiloh".
