I changed my mind about posting the author's name and the first paragraph to
the list. I'm really angry. The whole article is very biased and makes Tina
Barber look like a savior.
I will talk to the board about crafting an official response to the magazine
and the author. Feel free to respond yourself.
Page 48, Dog World, October 2007 issue.
Here's the first paragraph.
Alice Bixler - here's the first paragraph -
"Yesterday's German Shepherd is back. Is it only a memory playing tricks or
were the earlier German Shepherd so very different from today's dogs? It
seems they were. Brawny, brave, and intelligent, they were ready to take
down a threatening adversary or to gently prop up a toddler's first steps.
Bullies, bandits or bogeymen kept their distance when one of these canines
was your companion."
If she's attributing this to Tina Barber, she sure didn't state that!
The author is AKC judge Alice Bixler.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Shiloh featured in Dog World
I just received my October issue of Dog World. The Shiloh Shepherd is
featured, and the first paragraph of the article shocked and angered me-
something like - the old style German Shepherd is back!
Well, I don't know that old style German Shepherds weighed 120 lbs for one
thing.
If you get a chance, pick up a copy (Irish Terrier on the cover) and let the
writer who is an AKC judge, and the magazine know what you think.
I'm not publishing either because I think it's only fair you read the
article yourself and come to your own conclusions before commenting to
either.
I will be writing!
Cyndy
