Featuring
"Shiloh"
(Goldie/Kelby)
Arrived SFC 4th July 2008

Beverley -
I
thought you would enjoy a first snapshot
of Shiloh hanging out with my 10 year old
sheepdog Zoe on the deck. Shiloh sneaks up on
her when she is asleep and curls up next to her
stomach. This photo is at about 11 weeks - as
of last week (16 weeks old) Shiloh was 23
pounds and almost as tall as Zoe. She has grown
like a weed these past 2 weeks!
|
Shiloh is an amazing dog .. and that is
from someone who has had 2 amazing
sheepdogs that i trained as therapy
dogs. Smart and mischievous. Very
athletic. A loving nature with both
people and dogs ... all of this I know
comes from both nature (her parents)
and the good nurture - that you all gave
her as a start. She is a natural with
kids. |
When people
see her and feel her coat - they are amazed.
She is incredibly soft and loose. and her coat
color is very Wheaton like -- I think that
infusion blood thru Goldie's line is a winner.
Hopefully I am doing you proud with the
continuing nurturing and training.I have been
taking her to 2 puppy playgroups each week as
well as puppy kindergarden and a session a week
for me with a private trainer -
And many
people come up and ask me for puppy play dates
for their pups with Shiloh - -She has lots of
energy
(she runs like the wind in playgroup)
but is not out of control in her play which is
what amazes them. When she would get over
exuberant in play, I would pick her up and
cradle her on her back in my arms and she would
almost immediately relax like a rag doll --
people called her 'the muppetdog." anyway, a
quick photo of her at about 11 weeks... she is
looking more and more like her mom as she
grows. I think she is going to be a big girl
.. and it is fun to experience a dog with a tail
for the first time :-)
With
appreciation and love
