March 11-12, 2006: Rhode Island Pet Expo
Once again the SSONE Chapter sponsored a booth at the RI Pet Expo at the Rhode Island Convention Center. This year our booth had our "puppies" Hope, Manny, Brook, Joy, Kurgan, and more

I would like to thank all of "you" for helping to make our presence known at the Providence Expo. Saturday was a gorgeous day here, but people turned out in great numbers to attend. On Saturday we had Kurgan with his entire family and also Hope with her entire family, and Manny "the man" with Sam & Terry and Joy with me and my friend , Auntie Diane, and we had the pleasure of Katy and Sasha. We passed out tons of tri folds and had kids galore petting our gentle giants. We had lots of handicapped adults and children in wheel chairs and not one of our fur babies were reluctant to be accommodating to whoever was approaching!

Manny was selected to participate in a "parade" in a special ring by someone walking by. I believe this parade was to showcase the different breeds. I had to leave the expo for a couple hours midday to go pick up Kiora as she was having her final long distance date with Samson-what timing! On Sunday the weather was a bit overcast so the crowds were huge and nonstop. We had Hope with all her family and we had Brook with Sophia and the entire Clementi family who came from NY to help out :-)! Joy was also there to do her par, along with Katy and Sasha. There were no lulls at all and children were coming from every direction and pulling away from their parents to see the dogs and of course touch and pet them. We had tiny toddlers to seniors. Lots of wheel bound visitors.

Our tri fold supply is almost depleted and many people thumbed through "The Shiloh Shepherd Story." It was great to pick up the book and show people along with answering the many questions. I had one K9 police officer stop by and spent quite a long time at the booth-he said he was known as "Dirty Harry" around the force! People were very impressed with our Shilohs Kurgan was a great asset as people were quite fascinated with the white shiloh and he is such a looker!! Several people had asked me for a Joy clone, again I think they were awestruck with the gray/black color. I think there will be lots and lots of people visiting the learning center this week! What I get asked the most is "How are they different from a GSD?"Many people will walk by and say those are GSDs, then they take a second look and then can't resist coming over to pet and then ask questions.

an excerpt from the article by DAWN GOFF
"IT WAS the perfect opportunity to check out some rare breeds. Two little Shiloh Shepherds from the Rising Star Shilohs kennel caught our attentions. The kennel is owned by Shiela Masse of N. Scituate, Rhode Island. Sheila is one of a few breeders of the Shiloh and is working with the breed founder, Tina Barber, to develop the breed. Through careful line breeding, the Shiloh Shepherd emerged. The breeds trifold describes the Shiloh as a German Shepherd you rememb

ered as a child with the personality of Lassie, Strongheart and Rin Tin Tin all rolled into one. For more information on the Shiloh visit their website at www.risingstarshilohs.com or email Sheila at sheila@risingstarshilohs.com or call (401) 647-3868."
