Height: 29 inches at the shoulder
Weight: 100 lbs
Coat and Color: Plush, Dark Brown Sable

Leo was our first Shiloh, acquired from New Zion Shilohs in New York--the kennel of the Breed Founder herself, Tina Barber. We owe a great thanks to Tina for giving us a boy with such a friendly temperament, goofball personality and incredible conformation!

Leo achieved his Breed Championship before he was even 18 months old, gaining his final point in February of 2009. He turns three this year and we are looking forward to seeing if he can pass on his wonderful friendly temperament and awesome movement to his pups!

Zion's London Twin of Sparta aka Kyrie

4 years old, born on 1/13/2008

Height: 27 inches
Weight: 75 lbs
Coat and Color: Smooth, Dark Brown Sable with Cream

Kyrie is my girl, who I begged Zak for when I heard that she would likely turn out to look just like her famous movie dog ancestor, London, The Littlest Hobo!

Kyrie has obtained her first Championship points and her first Major win! At the Oklahoma City she took Winner's Bitch adult(best female), beating three other girls to obtain a three-point major toward her Champion title. We are SO proud of her!

Kyrie really shines in her intelligence. She is an incredibly easy-to-teach girl who typically absorbs a new command within three tries. She is always listening to us, trying to fathom these crazy humans, and she picks up new words even when we're not trying to teach them to her!

Wolfcreek's Thorn of Sparta aka Thorn

3 years old, born on 9/15/2009

Height: 28 inches
Weight: 75 pounds
Coat and Color: Smooth, Light Brown Sable

Thorn came to us in 2009 from the Sadie/Blaze litter at Wolf Creek Shilohs. We think he is a great example of how beautiful the Shiloh smooth-coats can be!

Thorn will not be participating in our breeding program, but he is still a beloved member of our household. He is a really active pup, as you can see! He has lost some of the goofball puppy attitude, but still has a lot of silly moments. Our favorite things about Thorn are his amazing intelligence and learning ability and his awesome sense of humor! Thorn loves to make us laugh. :)
