Homecoming - Buffalo NY

Sorry, it has taken so long to get this together but I had over 1500 photos to process and it was so hard to hit the delete button!! Anyway, I have come up with some nice photos of the trip. So here's the story of my journey.

I arrived in Buffalo (New York State) very late on Thursday night and unfortunately missed out on the genetics seminar being held at Willards which was where

Homecoming was being held. For those that don't know, Homecoming is the annual get-together of ISSR registered Shilohs. It goes for about four days and includes meetings, seminars and of course the shows, one being the ISSR National Shiloh Show. This is a great opportunity to see Shilohs of all ages and it also gives one a snapshot of how the breed is progressing.

So the next three days were a blur of Shilohs and Shiloh people. It was wonderful to meet those people I had been chatting with on the forums and it was also a fabulous opportunity for me to see a variety of different Shilohs. I shared a hotel with Jessica Strauss (Strausshaus Shilohs in WA) her sister and two lovely Shiloh puppies who were to be subjects for a Litter Evaluation exercise. See the photos to the right. Also with our group was Kylie, the only other Australian but she had come from the UK where she was working and studying. I had not 'met' any of these people and it was an exciting and fun time!!
