ISSA Shiloh Shepherd Leonidas: Dayton, OH IABCA Show, Part 2!

In this second set of photos from the Dayton IABCA show I got some great size comparison shots with one of our dogs next to GSD's in Group categories. Above, Piston next to a GSD. Note the level back instead of sloping, the squarer proportions, and the tremendous size difference. If the GSD was looking ahead you would also be able to see the difference in expression with Piston's small, triangular, Shiloh-correct ears next to the taller GSD ears.

Below you can see him compared also to a White Shepherd.

Here we have Jan's Tanna, only five months old in this photo. She is standing next to a young GSD who is ten months--double her age!

Mindy's Yoshi in the ring, Show Two, being examined by the judge.

Mindy's lovely Starr in the ring, looking alert!

A block of shots of the adult girls in the ring. They are, from left to right: Shawnee, Starr, Bisou.

I really love Shawnee and she was very photogenic for me! Here's a sweet candid shot I missed for yesterday's update:

And a block of shots of Shawnee in the ring:

Jan's beautiful Shanna in the ring, as lovely a five-month old Shiloh girl as you will ever see! And the judges agreed, awarding Shanna a slew of Best in Shows and Best in Specialty Puppy!

Best of Breed competition, Show Two. The dogs are, left to right: Piston, Yoshi, Bisou, and a dog I don't know. Piston took first in this round and went on to Herding Group.

A few shots of Piston in the ring. Can't tell I like this boy or anything! Though apparently the judges agreed with me!!

Moose sitting while the judge takes notes. Moose is littermate to our Kyrie.

A block of photos of Farrah in the ring (she's to the left of the White Shepherd and GSD). Such a sweet girl, with excellent movement! Farrah was almost 18 months in this photo; the two other Shepherds were similar in age. You can see the size and structure differences here again.
