Minka takes a 1st place!

Our town has an annual arts festival complete with an amatuer photo contest. Each person is allowed to enter 4 photos and the "animal" photo I chose was of "candy cane", now Minka, on a snowy day. I am thrilled to announce that she

wowed the crowd and earned me a blue ribbon! There were definitely some technilogically better photos but Minka won their hearts.

Here are also some recently received photos of Miss Minka. She is growing up (quickly) in DC with her humans Eric & Sharon. According to them she "wows" the crowd everywhere they go. They once requested that we should warn potential buyers of the instant "celebrity status" you acquire along with a Shiloh pup.

What a beauty! ~Rhonda

July Playdate

On the spur of the moment I decided to see if anyone could join us for a playdate this past Sunday. The temp was going to be in the 70's and a perfect day for the dogs. Jan Jacobs agreed to serve as hostess so that we could meet and walk to her neighborhood dog park. Roll Call: Jan with Reva & Saber, Charlotte with Winston (FK1), Paulette with Kira (Rorrie/Konrad), and myself with Delyla (FK1). Once we got to the dog park there were numerous mixed breeds, an 11week old lab mix pup, a Visla, 2 Saint Bernards as well as numerous others. All were on very good behavior! The regulars were gathering to remark at the Shiloh reunion. Proir to leaving Jan's I also got to meet another Shiloh from her neighborhood who is littermate to the famous Gandolf who rescued a boyscout out in Washington state a few years ago.

Enjoy the photos!

The long awaited Nori/ Konrad litter has made it to fruition! Nori delivered 3 very healthy puppies on 7/14/09. Two whites and one sable... just as Jan had guessed.

Follow their progress on the JNL Pocono Shiloh site!

Carly/ Kilian Litter!

We are thrilled to be a part of this awesome pairing with Ridgewood Shilohs! The 11 puppies were born on 6/11/2009. This is Carly's second litter and Kilian's first contribution to the genepool.

Watch them grow on the Ridgewood website!

The best part is the little black beauty we will be bringing home from this litter. Orange girl, Jesse, will be joining the BC Crew mid August.

Delyla Update

Miss Delyla has been working hard on her obedience classes for the last year. She has completed several courses and finished Beginner's Rally-O two weeks ago. This Rally class was mostly to train her mom in the right way to do things. We hope to do some actual competition next spring once the AKC allows all breeds to register for field events. Our Obedience club even has a Rally team!

It is Official!

Kilian received his International Championship certificate from NAKC this week! We are finally official!

He finished his breed championship last summer with the TSSR but still needed 3 points with NAKC. He was able to get those points and a few more at the Buckeye Classic in May.

Kilian may have to take the rest of the summer off if his coat doesn't get done blowing soon. He looks like he's about a year old without all his fluff.

Kilian Wins BIG!
