Mona sits very prominently in the
history of the Shiloh Shepherd with many pedigrees tracing back
to her. Registered
as an AKC German Shepherd prior to being registered as Shiloh
Shepherd after the breed became recognized as a Rare Breed in 1991,
Mona was bred by Alice Fisher of Selah Shepherds.
Mona was very
typical of an “old
world-style” German
Shepherd. She was oversized (above standard) huge boned, huge
headed with a huge, square body and an unwavering sense of loyalty,
protection, and at all times, very trustworthy and gentle.
She was a true herding
dog and in the last few years of her long, wonderful life, she
adopted an orphaned baby goat, a flock of chicks and quite a few
human children! She took her job of foster parenting very seriously,
taking great care of all her children.
Mona was full of life till the very
end, loving to sneak up from the side or from behind and nip us
on the thigh and then spin around with a very mischievous look,
waiting for us to chase her. She still loved to play ball and loved
to go for nice slow walks in the pastures and down to the creek
as she got older.
We loved Mona dearly and feel blessed to have had her in our
house and raising our kids, canine and human alike. She will
forever be a part of our hearts and her great big bear hugs are
still missed tremendously.
