Happy Barkday ... Nine Years Young

Happy early Barkday to Zoey, Beloved Zodiac's Magic of CJ's, who turns nine years young on Wednesday, the 10th. Zoey is from the Bo/Nikita litter from February 2001 but now calls Beloved Shilohs in NJ her home where she shares her life with Ellen and Murray Brenner and doggie pals, Gabe the Doberman, and fellow Shilohs Tylor and Sage. Ellen shares "It's hard to just write just a little about our girl, ZOEY. She is our first Shiloh Shepherd and we couldn't have been blessed with a better dog. We don't think of her as a "dog" at all. Zoey has a great sense of humor and a joy about life. She is always ready for a big kiss on the face and if she can wet your eye glasses, all the better."

In 2004 Zoey was named the Grand Victrix for the TSSR. But Ellen shares they would have never dared to guess what the future held when Zoey came to them as a puppy. "She started out as the clumsiest puppy we'd ever seen. She could not put three steps together without falling over when we first got her at 9 weeks old. Murray and I had no idea that Zoey would go from a puppy that tripped over her own four feet to having a most beautiful flying trot." Zoey completed all of her health testing and gave Beloved Shilohs a litter of puppies in March of 2005 and now it seems her son Sage, is following in his mother's footsteps as he was named the TSSR's Grand Victor and and ISSDC National Select for the 2007 & 2008 show seasons.

Zoey has represented Shiloh Shepherds well throughout the years including a guest appearance on NBC's "Today" show representing rare breed dogs. Conformationally she has earned her ARBA, Breed and Rarities (now NAKC) Championships, as well as earned Grand Victrix and NS titles with the TSSR. She has also earned her CGC (Canine Good Citizen), TT (Temperament Testing) and TDI (Therapy Dog) certifications and completed her full HCT (Herding Capability Testing) title from AHBA (American Herding Breed Association) in just one weekend which she earned at seven years young!

Zoey is retired from the show ring and now cherishes her role as Shiloh Ambassador when she is out and about. At the 2008 ISSDC specialty Ellen and Zoey dusted off their show leads as a last minute entry in the Veteran's Class and she earned the "Best of Veterans" title that show! "Zoey went into 'show mode' as soon as we entered the ring and did us proud. She stacked and moved around the ring in beautiful form," Ellen shares. "When she was awarded the BEST OF VETERANS trophy, I burst into happy tears."

Happy Barkday Zoey, all the more beautiful at nine years young and may you have many more wonderful Barkdays to come!

Happy Barkday to Bearpaw's "Irish Seven"

Happy Barkday wishes to the "Irish Seven" litter! The Sage/Misty litter, born St Patty's Day 2008, was bred by ISSDC NE member/breeder Nancy Schmidt of Bearpaw Shilohs in NJ. A litter of seven with four precious girls and three boys, several of which still call the NE home.

The "Irish Seven" have some promising herders in their group as well. This litter had the most littermates participate from a single litter at the ISSDC Herding Event held at Keepstone Farm last November. Jazmine, Cooper, Finn and Darcy all participated and all of them received the first leg of their AHBA HCT title with Finn earning his full HCT title! What a great accomplishment!

Maybe they got some "woolies" for their barkday! We just want to wish many happy returns to you and enjoy your barkday kids!

Many more returns Storm!

Good Day Sunshine!

We'd like to extend Happy 1st Barkday wishes to the Harley/Sunshine kids from their second litter born March 1, 2008, specifically Zebrina and Corbin who call the ISSDC NE Region home.

Zebrina, Azzaro's Zebrina Golden Sunshine, is owned by Angelo and Nancy Massaro of Azzaro Shilohs in PA. "Zebrina is the most loving and energetic pup," shares Nancy. "But she definitely keeps us on our toes!" Her pack includes Shilohs Zeus, Zeena and their son Zorro who was born late last year. "Zebrina loves her new playmate Zorro, they keep busy for hours and chase each other around the house," elaborates Nancy. "Sometimes it feels just like a 24 hour zoor around here."

"Hi, I'm Zebrina!" Photo courtesy of Azzaro Shilohs.

Corbin, Blkwd's Sir Corbin of Sunshine, calls Blackwood Shilohs home with Pat & Jim Hartnett also in PA. Corbin shares his home with Shilohs Keys and Dexter. Corbin was the only boy in his litter, bred by Anita Tricoli of Sunshine Shilohs.

Happy 4th Barkday to Squiggles

We've had a lot of Barkdays recently and we send our best wishes out to all of our Celebrating Shiloh Shepherds and their families! Today's Barkday Wishes go out to Squiggles, aka Squiggy, and his littermates from the Storm/Maggie litter born February 26, 2005!

Squiggles was the first born male of the first Storm/Maggie litter bred by ISSDC NE members Janet & Larry Biersack at Bay Breeze Shilohs. Janet describes Squiggy as "her soul" so it's no surprise that he stayed at the Bay Breeze Shilohs homestead. Squiggles got his unique name from Janet & Larry's grandson and Janet goes on to say that Squiggy fits his name as he "is sweet and loving."

"Of course this is my bed, what are you thinking?!?"
Photo courtesty of Bay Breeze Shilohs.

Squiggles loves his toys, and we're told he carries them around everywhere he goes. However, there is one thing Squiggy loves more than toys, and that's puppies! "He helps us raise our puppies and will clean them and teach them to go potty outside," shares Janet. "In fact he loves puppies so much you have to spell the word puppies so as not say the word as he will get very upset and start looking for puppies in the house." What a great helper!

"Did someone say puppies?"
Photo courtesty of Bay Breeze Shilohs.

Apparently Squiggy is also a water dog and all summer you'll find him playing in his pool! When not in the pool, he loves to just lay on his deck in the yard. Sounds as if Squiggy has quite the life at Bay Breeze Shilohs! Where do I sign up?

"Hi! I'm Squiggy!
Photo courtesty of Bay Breeze Shilohs.

Janet would like to send a special message to Squiggles, "Squiggy we all love you very much. And Happy Birthday My Man. Love, Mom and Dad and the Gang." Happy Barkday from your ISSDC NE family as well Squiggy!

Barkday Number Four

Mac Shilohs Gareth, aka "poop pot," celebrated his fourth birthday on February 25th! Gareth resides at Mac Shilohs in Central NY with his half brother Hamish and owners Heather Yates and James Blackham. "It hardly seems possible that little bundle of black and silver fluff we first met in April of 2005 is now four and a majestic smooth coated black and cream sable Shiloh," shares Heather. "What a great boy he has turned out to be."

Gareth is one of five puppies born at Star Shilohs in Utah on February 25, 2005. The litter was bred by Sandie Sanderson and is from Star Shilohs' second Kota/Natasha litter. Gareth came to Mac Shilohs through Trish & Brennan Beltz of Ridgewood Shilohs. "We were so very pleased with our first Shiloh sired by their Kota that we decided we'd take another and we are so glad we did." says Heather Yates of Mac Shilohs.

Trish handled Gareth in the conformation ring all the way to his Rarities International Championship, which he earned at seven months old with his Best Jr Puppy in Show win at the Cape Cod Classic in Sandwich, MA. Gareth was the first smooth coated Shiloh Shepherd to earn an International Championship with the Rarities (now NAKC) organization. "Unfortunately we couldn't continue attending shows with frequency and we never finished his breed championship," shares Heather, "something, to this day, we still wish we could have attained."

Gareth's profile.

But Gareth is so much more than a show dog, he was always destined to be a beloved companion to Heather and James, and playmate to his brother Hamish (who is, in fact, his real half-brother). Gareth always looks very serious but he's one of the most happy go lucky Shilohs around and has a zest for life that is just contagious. He always brings a lot of laughter and smiles wherever he goes. Gareth has also earned his CGC and this past November Gareth passed his AHBA herding instinct test with a qualifying run which earned him his first leg of the AHBA HCT title.

Below we share a few of the differing "sides" of Gareth as he's quite the character.

Happy Barkday Gareth! Hopes for many happy returns!

Happy Barkday Shelby

Happy Barkday to Shelby, Mustang Lmtd Edition V Sierra, owned by ISSDC NE member (and ISSDC Treasurer) Carol Cernak of Mustang Shiloh Shepherds in NY. Shelby shares her home with three other Shiloh Shepherds — including two of her children, Jet (from the 2006 Jake/Shelby breeding) and Munch (from the 2008 Phantom/Shelby breeding) and pack mate Sally.

Shelby spends her daily life on a farm as a family dog, but she also has done extremely well in the conformation ring through the years. Her daughter Jet has taken after her mom by tearing up the show ring in 2007 and we look forward to Munch out and about this coming season.

So Happy Barkday Shelby, from your ISSDC NE family!

Happy Barkday Sweet Sweet Bailey

Bailey celebrates her barkday today! For her special day she received a new stuffed squeaky duck toy. We're told, however, sadly after about 20 minutes, the duck no longer quacks. We think that's the first sign that she liked her new toy!

Bailey is a spayed Shiloh Shepherd female John and Monica Popaduke of Kindred Spirit Shilohs adopted through the ISSDC's rescue/rehome program when she was 18 months old. "Bailey is our pride and joy and we are so grateful to share our home with her," says Monica. "She is kind, loving, playful, devoted, affectionate, gentle and very eager to please." Bailey was bred by ISSDC NE breeders Nancy Schmidt of Bearpaw Shilohs and Dawn Swick of BelleGrace Shilohs.

Yeah, I have a fluffy pink hat, isn't it the bestest?

"We are very blessed to share our lives with Bailey," shares Monica. Monica goes on to share this special wish her special girl, "Happy Birthday Bailey and we wish you many more!"

Bailey's profile.

Bailey shared a special birthday dinner with her packmates of Green Tripe and extra bones. Hmmm, sounds like a special dinner several other ISSDC NE Shilohs would have loved to participate in! Happy Barkday Bailey from your ISSDC NE extended family and many happy returns!

Happy Barkdays to Zeva, Porter, Conagher and Cooper!

Barkdays two times over for the Birch/Aspen litters bred by ISSDC PNW member Joyce Hamblin at Woodside Ranch Shilohs in Oregon. Four of these pups call the NE Region home, so we celebrate their barkdays!

Happy 2nd Barkday to Zeva and Conagher! Zeva and Conagher are from the first Birch/Aspen litter born February 18, 2007. Zeva lives with Trish and Brennan Beltz at Ridgewood Shiloh Shepherds (B&T) and Conagher calls BelleGrace Shilohs home — both in Pennsylvania.

As an aside, both the Sire and Dam of these pups are from NE breeders, Birch comes from retired breeder Katie Gallagher at Blue Moon Shilohs in NJ and Aspen was bred by Christi Yonavick at Ridgewood Shilohs (P&C) in PA.

So join us in sending Barkday wishes to all the pups from both litters!

Happy Barkday Valentine Nine!

Generally these blog posts are written without any "I" or "Me" connotations, or at least that's the goal, but for today, that tradition is breaking as the Barkday wishes include my heart dog, Hamish.

It's hard to believe it's been five years since I brought home my first Shiloh bundle of joy! And boy did I get everything I had hoped for in his personality but I also got so much more — a wonderful extended littermate family, a welcoming embrace into the Shiloh world, wonderful Shiloh friends, and a passion for these dogs which made me jump into the Shiloh world with both feet wanting to learn as much as I could and help in any way I could. Five years down the road and I'm still learning, making more friends and still loving these dogs!

So Happy Barkday wishes to "The Valentine's Nine," the Kota/Trinka litter who entered this world on Valentine's Day 2004 at Shenandoah Shilohs in PA. Trinka blessed me with the best Valentine's Gift ever and Kota, bred by Ridgewood Shilohs in PA, was handing out cigars!

Trinka and newborn pups. Photo courtesy of Shenandoah Shilohs.

The ISSDC NE Region is home to four pups from this litter, Hamish, Kassie, Tylor and Ryder.

Hamish, Hamish MacKota of Shenandoah, is owned by myself — Heather Yates and James Blackham of Mac Shilohs and calls Central NY home. He shares his life with his real Shiloh half brother Gareth. Hamish spends most of his time being my best friend. He never really enjoyed the show ring although is pointed, and we have tried our hand at herding and obedience work. He is, as ever, my best photographic model and the inspiration for me to pick up the camera again.

Kassie, B&T's Princess of Shenandoah, lives at Ridgewood/B&T Shilohs with owners Brennan & Trish Beltz and their Shiloh crew. Kassie is now living the life of a retired show dog. She excelled in the conformation ring, being the first female Shiloh Shepherd to earn the Supreme Grand Champion title with the NAKC (formerly Rarities) organization. Now she prefers to chill out at home and is part of her local therapy dog group.

Tylor, Beloved BT Tylor of Shenandoah, calls Southern NJ home with Ellen and Murray Brenner and shares his life with the Beloved Shilohs pack. Tylor started out as a show dog but now excels at his Therapy work. In fact Cooper Hospital in NJ named Tylor the 2008 Therapy Animal of the year.

Tylor, Beloved BT Tylor of Shenandoah, in September of 2005. Photo courtesy of Heather Yates, Candid Paws.

"Tylor has been a joy and is the most wonderful therapy dog ever. He looks especially handsome with his hair trimmed and all clean and washed by the groomer," Ellen shares. "While he can be incredibly noisy and very stubborn if you want to leave him home, he is such an amazing ambassador to our breed."

Tylor representing the Shiloh breed well! Photo courtesy of Beloved Shilohs.

Ryder lives in PA as a beloved pet with his Shiloh Shepherd, Australian Shepherd and Coated GSD brothers and sisters, owned by Marion Milavec and her husband. Ryder is also a working therapy dog!

So Happy Barkday to Hamish, Kassie, Tylor and Ryder from your ISSDC NE Family and also across the country to your littermates Shaman, Sophie, Jazz, Maverick and Kato (god speed) and all your very special families. What a great gift you all are!

Happy Barkday Calypso!

Calypso is owned by ISSDC NE members Gary & Traci Runyon and calls Stardust Shilohs home. Caly joined the Stardust family in the Spring of 2004, joining the "Artie Boys" already living there, Bismarck and Rommel. Caly is from Mason Dixon Kennels February 3, 2004 Artie/Tuesday breeding.

Calypso was officially retired from showing in 2008 after achieving great heights in the conformation ring. She attained the highest levels currently attainable with the Rarities/NAKC and ARBA organizations; the NAKC Hall of Fame and ARBA Master Champion respectively. Caly is also currently a 4x GV earning accolades from the ISSDC and TSSR for the 2006 and 2007 show seasons. Caly became a first time mom in March of 2008 and has passed the "show" torch to her progeny. We look forward to watching them in the show ring over the next few seasons.

Caly, smiling after a show.

So Happy Barkday to you and your littermates Caly, from your ISSDC NE Shiloh family.

Happy Barkday "Baby" Keys

Can we still call her "Baby" Keys? She has, afterall, grown up into a beautiful adult Shiloh Shepherd and frankly today is her fourth birthday. Owned by ISSDC NE members Pat and Jim Hartnett of Blackwood Shiloh Shepherds in PA, Keys was their first Shiloh and now watches over two little brothers who have joined the family, Corbin and Dexter. "I can't believe the Noah/Shy litter is four years old already. Where has the time gone?" shares Pat. "Keys was our first and only Shiloh for over three years. Anyone who has met her knows she is the sweetest, kindest, most loving girl."

Awww, Baby Keys with a binky, could she be any cuter?!?
Photo courtesy of Blackwood Shiloh Shepherds.

Keys entered the world at Mt Airy Shepherds in MD with 10 brothers and sisters. After watching the litter through their eight weeks at Mt Airy, Keys joined the Hartnett family through co-breeder Becky Althoff of Catoctin Shiloh Shepherds. "When she came home to us at eight weeks old, it didn't take me long to realize how smart she was. At every turn she was trying her best to outsmart me," laughs Pat. "We have had our share of 'arguments' and to this day we are still at a standoff on who the Alpha of this house actually is…lol. I normally win but she gets her point across."

OK, answered the above question — how adorable is this photo?
Photo courtesy of Blackwood Shiloh Shepherds.

Pat and Jim enjoy taking Keys to shows and events as Keys is up to try just about anything. "The trust she has in me is amazing. What ever I ask of her, she gives me without question," notes Pat. "We have been through some hard and very sad times together. The bond we have is strong. Keys is my best friend and my constant companion. I wonder what I did before she was in my life and I can't imagine my life without her. She is my heart."

So Happy Barkday Keys, and to your littermates too! We hope you get lots of loving, goodies and extra belly rubs on this special day!
