Aptly named ...

BG's No More Mr Nice Guy WSRSS aka Cooper is really a nice guy afterall!

Cooper, 12 1/2 months old, from the Birch/Aspen 2008 litter can now add a "CGC" after his name. He passed his testing with flying colors.

"He walked through the crowd of people like a pro, says owner Dawn Swick of Bellegrace Shilohs. "He was more interested in going up to meet the person in the wheelchair and the woman with the walker. I see therapy dog testing in his future."

Cooper, bred by Woodside Ranch Shiloh Shepherds in Oregon, also completed his Obedience Basic II class the week before and was awarded his certificate. From the looks of the picture, he sure appears to be proud of it! Or just maybe it is the bag of goodies his instructors gave him for being such a well behaved student.

Congratulations to Bailey & Kodiak

Congratulations to Bailey and Kodiak of Kindred Spirit Shilohs in NY for passing their recent CGC and TDI evaluations!

Bailey is a spayed Shiloh Shepherd female Monica and John adopted through the cooperation of the breeder and the ISSDC's rescue/rehome program when she was 18 months old. Bailey is a beautiful smooth Shiloh lady bred by Belle-Grace Shilohs and Bearpaw Shilohs. Monica says Bailey has a sweetness about her, that everyone who meets her just falls in love with her giant but gentle presence. She wants nothing more than to please and give love so they are quite anxious for Bailey to become an actively working therapy dog. They truly hope she will touch many lonely or scared hearts along her way.

Kodiak comes from Babbling Brook Shilohs and previously passed his CGC but was re-tested as part of the TDI evaluation. Monica hopes to get him involved in a Cancer Hospital near their home. Monica says their children are all grown yet he is a natural with little kids.....and are sure to get a face licking! Here's hoping they find a facility where Kodiak can make a difference.
