Congratulations to our ISSDC NE Shilohs

The TSSR recently announced their GV/NS/Puppy of the Year awards for the 2007 show year and the ISSDC NE first wants to congratulate ALL the recipients but is also very proud to have several of our NE Shilohs represented!

Not only do the Shilohs who earn these titles have to excel in the show arena, they also need to have completed their breed championship, have health testing completed and passed, have earned Best of Breed or Best of Opposite show points, be registered with the TSSR and have submitted their win sheets to the show chair. Let's take a look at our Northeast representatives!!

Grand Victor
The 2007 TSSR Grand Victor is Beloved Zoey's Legacy of Frack (call name Sage) — handled and bred by Ellen Brenner of Beloved Shilohs located in New Jersey. Sage is from Ellen's first Shiloh litter at Beloved and is out of her 2004 Grand Victrix bitch Zoey, Beloved's Zodiac's Magic of CJ's. The litter, born March 28, 2005 was sired by P,B&T's New Beginnings of Sierra (call name Noah) an OTX1, owned by Ridgewood Shilohs (P&C, B&T). Sage won his first Best In Show at the 2007 Brookville event over Memorial Day weekend. Sage has not only been successful in the show ring but is also a therapy dog working with emotionally challenged children. Sage has recently sired his first litter with Misty, Betterways Misty Memory o'Zion, at Bearpaw Shilohs in New Jersey.

Grand Victrix
G&T's Calypso Sumr Brz Msn-Dxn (call name Caly) — bred by Lisa Leilich of Mason Dixon Kennels in Pennsylvania, owned by Gary and Traci Runyon and handled by Gary Runyon of Stardust Shilohs in Pennsylvania — has earned the TSSR Grand Victrix title for the second year in a row. Caly is also the ISSDC's 2006 Grand Victrix and took Best In Breed at the ISSDC National Specialty in Brookville last May. Caly is currently taking a break from showing and is enjoying motherhood as her first litter was born March 13, sired by Asgard-Samson. Caly is from Mason Dixon's 2004 Artie, a GV and NS in his own right, / Tuesday breeding.

National Select
Shelby, Mustangs Lmtd Edition V Sierra — bred by Susi Ramstead of Sierra Shilohs, owned by Carol Cernak of Mustang Shiloh Shepherds and handled by Suzy Graham of Tantara Shilohs and Amanda Opozda — resides in Westchester County, NY at Mustang Shiloh Shepherds. This is Shelby's first NS achievement in the TSSR. Shelby was the TSSR's Puppy of the Year in 2004 and I remember watching her at her first show, the 2004 TSSR Gathering, where she began her LARGE collection of ribbons and trophies. Shelby has done very well in the show ring and whelped her first litter of puppies in December 2006 with Twincedars Desperado, Jake, a Long Haired German Shepherd Dog OTX. Shelby's female pup, Jet, is the TSSR's 2007 Puppy of the Year following in her mom's footsteps. Shelby comes from Sierra Shilohs from the 2004 Hammer, a 4x NS himself, / Mirage litter.

National Select
Congratulations to Bismarck, G&T's Semper Fi of Mason-Dixon — bred by Lisa Leilich of Mason Dixon Kennels in Pennsylvania, owned by Gary and Traci Runyon of Stardust Shilohs in Pennsylvania and handled by Gary Runyon and Ron Williams — on repeating his NS achievement. Bismarck has quite the show accomplishments under his collar as he is also the 2006 GV and a 2005 NS for the TSSR as well as a 2006 ISSDC NS. Bismarck took most of 2006 off, only coming out for a few shows the entire show season. Bismarck sired his first litter this year with Savvi, Evadne's Savannah Raid the Wind. Bismarck is from Mason Dixon's 2002 Artie, a GV and NS in his own right, / Tuesday breeding.

Puppy of the Year
The 2007 TSSR Puppy of the Year also is an ISSDC NE member doggie. Jet, Mustang's Shelby's Cobra Jet — bred by Carol Cernak of Mustang Shiloh Shepherds in New York and Susi Ramstead of Sierra Shilohs in California, owned by Carol Cernak and handled by Amanda Opozda — is from Carol's first Shiloh breeding at Mustang Shiloh Shepherds, born in December of 2006. Jet's mother Shelby is a TSSR NS this year and was the TSSR Puppy of the Year in 2004. Jet had an outstanding show year and was named the Rarities and NAKC "2007 Top Jr Puppy of the Year." This award was not just among Shiloh Shepherds but of all breeds shown in 2007 with their organization, what an amazing accomplishment for Jet and Mustang Shilohs! We think there are big things in store for this wonderful girl.

ISSDC SE
We also want to congratulate our SE sister chapter's smoothie gal Frances on her National Select title. Frances, MtAiry's Francesca Dela Tierra was bred by Nancy Dietz of Mt Airy Shiloh Shepherds and Becky Alhoff of Catoctin Shilohs — both in Maryland — and is owned/handled by Nancy Dietz. Frances is a smooth coated Shiloh Shepherd who has excelled in the show ring taking after her mother Shy (Catoctin's Shining Star) who earned her GV in 2002 and was a NS in 2003 and 2004. Frances is progeny of Shy and Noah, P,B&T's New Beginnings of Sierra, an OTX1, owned by Ridgewood Shilohs (P&C, B&T). I remember seeing Frances for the first time in May 2005 at the Punxsutawney show, taking the show in stride in the pouring raing and cleaning up over the weekend — I'm not sure how Nancy got all of her trophies and ribbons home!

The NE Region congratulates all of these Shilohs, their breeders, handlers and owners on such wonderful accomplishments and we thank you for getting out there and showcasing our breed in such a wonderful fashion.
