Tina's Additional
Comments:
This puppy was the biggest, yet very well
balanced, with a beautiful head! If he continues to grow at
the rate he started out with, he could easily be among the
biggest (and certainly broadest) Shilohs produced this year!
Even though he may not be shown much, he will definitely stop
traffic wherever he goes!

Tina's Additional Comments:
This boy has such beautiful pigmentation, and with such a
sweet, gentle disposition that you can't help but fall in love
with him! He is going to be huge, yet with the potential to go
all the way up to GV, his sidegait and front reach just
thrilled my soul! With his loving nature he is also well
suited for therapy work. Truly a Gentle Giant that will stop
traffic wherever he goes! |

Tina's additional comments:
This boy was certainly the loudest
"talker" portraying a highly intelligent, but
slightly mischievous personality. Exactly what I needed! I
expect great things from this boy, in conformation as well as
obedience, etc. He has that "extra special" sparkle
that seems to just draw attention. He will closely
resemble his grandsire GV bCh. Shiloh's Captain Caliber Baker.

Tina's Additional Comments:
This puppy broke my heart! He had all the qualities I was looking for! The perfect Show Stopper - Companion! His only fault was that of the
undescended testicles, but I was assured by his new owner that he would
be used at stud if they drop & he turns out as awesome as I expect him too! With that outstanding body & personality, he will certainly be an excellent ambassador for our breed!

Tina's Additional Comments:
This girl had that "special
sparkle" that just says, look at me! Although she did not
have as nice a side gait as some of her littermates, her
personality just stole my heart! If she had only been a male!
She also had the nicest (not overly long/thick) coat of the
entire litter. |

Another "talker" with a little

real beauty! She will certainly mature to look just like her
GV abCh. dam! Another traffic stopper who will prove to be an
excellent ambassador for the entire breed!

Tina's additional comments:
Very "flashy" show prospect, but
just a little insecure. Very much a people pleaser, that just
thrives on attention! Excellent potential for future therapy
dog. Even though she showed very slight signs of independence,
she should be encouraged to participate in activities she
enjoys.

Tina's Final Comments on the
Litter:
This was one of the most consistent litters I have evaluated in a long time, without wide ranges in temperament or type! All of the puppies were extremely large! Temperaments ranged between soft and med-soft, with each showing some "extra" signs of exceptional intelligence, even the two "bulldozers" that chose to "go over the wall" instead of through the maze! Neither displayed an attitude of "I am trapped
and can't figure out what to do" instead, they seemed to say "I don't have time for these silly tests, there are too many interesting things happening in the front yard!"
The overall structure and movement was impressive, these puppies
will definitely improve size, temperaments and add broader heads to many of the Shiloh lines!! Their contribution to the future betterment of our breed should
certainly be utilized! |
