Tina's Additional
Comments:
This boy will certainly become the tallest NB pup born so
far! We can easily expect him to go well over 30 inches! Since he is non-MAW and has size, hips--intelligence to
die for--and the potential to add outstanding vitality to
future generations, he must be utilized properly to help in expanding the
Shiloh gene pool.

Couch potato! |
Tina's additional comments:
This boy will stop a lot of traffic because
of his reddish brown fully covered by black markings! Although
he is very confident, he is also extremely lazy and will not
be well suited for any competitive type of training. He will
fit in well where he can lead a life of royal indulgence,
without any demands of (work) performance expected.

Tina's Additional Comments:
Beautiful puppy with an extremely loving personality.
Although his "show" faults were very minor, he did
have several that, when combined, decreased his chances for
future use as a stud. Nevertheless, he will grow into a very
impressive representative of our breed. He is highly
intelligent, a willing worker, and will be a (true) loyal
friend to his new family.

Tina's Additional Comments:
Very flashy boy! A bit on the small side,
with a "feminine" head, but he makes up for
it in attitude! This pup could have been a real show stopper
if he was of the opposite sex! Instead he needs to find a
home where his many other talents can be nurtured to
perfection.

Tina's Additional Comments:
An exceptional quality smooth coat! This girl
should easily go 90-100 pounds, 27 1/2 to 28 inches in
height! This girl can certainly make her mark on future
generations by passing on good bone, sound hips, her great
nose and those dearly loved "Kari" traits to
future generations, without fear of cowardice or health
problems. She may also entice others to take a second
look a the beauty of the smooth coats when she starts
trotting off with a nice collection of ribbons at future
shows!

Tina's Additional Comments:
Although extremely subtle, this girl
showed some mild signs of independence that will make her a
bit of a challenge to train. Yet she is loaded with
potential! She has what it takes to strut her stuff in the
show ring as well as OB competition! She could certainly
make a lasting contribution to the future expansion of the
Shiloh gene pool.

Tina's Additional Comments:
This is a very flashy, beautifully
structured puppy that could win ribbons where ever she goes,
but her temperament fault will limit her value as a future
breeder. She is a very needy pup that will demand a lot of
attention, and not handle any type of stress well. She will
only thrive properly in a loving home that does not place any
demands on her performance. |
|
Tina's Comments on the Litter: This
litter made me feel 20 years younger (in spirit if not in body)! As I
examined these pups they looked just like so many others in litters I
could easily recall from days gone by! Cairo looked and acted exactly
like the puppy (SHANE) I produced two decades ago that is now
represented in every Shiloh pedigree. Ajax will grow up to look just
like Laz, aside from the sable markings McKenna will grow up to look
like the Ria pups I loved so much! All with the same faults and
virtues too: the big Ria ears, the narrow Kari head, as well as the
balanced "type" of my Laz! These dogs will help me to reset
the desired type I started working toward back in the late 80's. Artus
has proven himself to be the "magnet" I need to reconstitute
our future gene pool.
