Located in Wisconsin, United States




Echo Shilohs Presents: The Ellie/Leaguer Litter!

Located in Indiana, United States




This litter is potentially planned for Summer 2017. I am expecting goofy, confident and happy go-lucky puppies. They should do well in the show ring, therapy work, or in any other canine games. These puppies should do well in almost any home, and keep their family entertained for hours.

This litter will be a combination of plush and smooth coats, all in varying shades of sable. All of the puppies will have the black recessive, so we could possibly have some bi-colors and very dark sable pups in the mix!

2018 Litters

Guardian Kennels Presents: The Indy/Axel Litter!

Located in Alberta, Canada




All I can say about the pups from this pairing is that they are going to have character!  If anyone has followed Miss Indiana through the Timbaland Shilohs page, you know what a great sense of humour this girl has.  Along with her stunning beauty, she has that glint of mischief in her eye and a genuine love for the world. 

Axel’s incredibly easy going temperament will just add to this confidence and zest for life.  We are expecting all plush pups in various shades of sable with the possibility of some duals.  After seeing the pups from our current litter (out of Indy’s dam) with Axel, we are really looking forward to seeing what he will produce with Indy.  These pups will be whelped and raised at Timbaland Shilohs in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta.

Jewel Shilohs Presents: The Tika/Dexter Litter!

Located in The Netherlands, Europe




Tika is a black and silver plush lady, and Dexter is a light brown smooth gentleman, so this will be a plush and smooth litter, and both coats are possible. We expect sable and dual pups, both light and dark, in colors of silver, grey, and light brown.

With this litter I hope to produce healthy dogs like Tika and Dexter are, with good or excellent hips. They are both huge dogs, so we expect their offspring will be very large too! Both dam and sire have good bone, and a solid top line. Dexter and Tika are both easy-to-handle dogs, so we hope that the pups will also inherit their parents’ temperament.

WINTER 2019-2020

Super Nova Shilohs Presents: The Nova/Leaguer Litter!

Located in Oklahoma, USA






"Queen" describes Nova to a "T". This little girl commanded the capture of our hearts from the very first day. Nova is super sweet, extremely attentive, bold, brave, and one of the smartest dogs I've had the pleasure of knowing. She's a treasure; our crown jewel and the inspiration for our Kennel name. She is 5 years old and made of sugar! Nova is a daughter out of October/Voltaire 2014.

Leaguer is a big handsome boy! Wicked smart and a rare smooth coated shiloh! Leaguer is also 5 years old and is son to Starr and Yoshi out of Echo Shilohs. This is not the first attempt at breeding Nova to Leaguer. In 2017 we tried AI with dual-sire but he did not take - but this time, according to the ultrasound, we have SUCCESS! We expect to see smooth coats as well as plush in all shades of golden and brown. It looks like a nice big litter, and the pups are expected to make their debut to the world just after the New Year!

All pups sold through Super Nova Shilohs. To contact us for more details, please visit the Super Nova web site, here!





Echo Shilohs Presents: The Emmy/Wally Litter!

Located in Indiana, United States






Emmy is my pick girl from her litter. She has grown into a great example of the Shiloh breed. Emmy is confident, outgoing and a complete goofball. She visited a local dog show with hundreds of dogs and thousands of people and she just hung out and actually tried to sleep during it all. She is an active girl who is constantly wanting to play with her housemates. Emmy definitely inherited that from her mom.

Wally is also a goofball, and loves to talk and narrate. Wally enjoys whatever his human's throw at him and is a confident boy who greets life with enthusiasm. He treats everything like he is a kid going to Disney World for the first time. He is from rarer lines, as this is the only place we have the Rani/Tazer line through his mom, Jazzy. He also has Yoshi in his lines, which carries rare lines as well.

By pairing these two we will get outgoing, funny and sassy puppies that will do well in a more active home that want to take their dogs everywhere and dabble in dog sports and fun games. These puppies will be a combination of smooth and plush coats in varying shades of grey and brown sables.

Dutch Pride Shilohs Presents: The Feylin::Duke Litter!

Located in The Netherlands, Europe





All pups of this litter are spoken for.

This will be Feylin’s last litter. She is our wonderful girl from Guardian Kennels in Canada, with good size and a wonderful temperament. All pups will be plush-coated, with sables and duals likely. For this last litter, she will be bred to Duke.

Duke's owners say, "Duke is an easy-going dog ​​with a cheerful character who is always ready for a game. He is our second dog and from the beginning he's been big buddies with Juno, our first Shiloh (Shima/Tibor, 2011). He was very curious as a puppy. Every little ant, beetle or other insect had to be sniffed extensively and strolls usually lasted longer than expected! He was also remarkably independent. He wanted to sleep peacefully outside, even if everyone else was inside!

Duke is now five, but because of his cheerful nature he sometimes looks like a puppy--a very large puppy! Because of his soft nature, he is initially somewhat stand-offish to strangers, but after being allowed to sniff, he plunges down somewhere to sleep. Duke is also very easy with walking, both on the leash and on the loose. He does not look at pedestrians, cyclists, cars and the like. However, he is always interested in other dogs, especially if they are poking for a game. On sand paths and in the forest, he often runs loose, keeping a close eye on us. He sometimes wants to take a sprint for a rabbit, but then he has his 'self-control' back within 100 meters.

Duke is, in short, a lovely dog ​​and we could not have imagined a better friend for ourselves, our children and Juno!"

“Feylin is a friendly, very playful dog. Her hobby is playing soccer. She does that, with a toy in her mouth, pushing her nose against a ball. She can then maneuver the ball towards me in a very focused way, hoping that I will kick it away again. During an off leash walk she usually ignores the other dogs and prefers to browse around, but also keeps a close eye on us. She is good with both large and small dogs and also our grandchildren are safe with her. The "worst" that ever happened is when she was wagging her tail, it the face of our granddaughter but she laughed about that. Feylin can be impressed by a loud angry voice, asking her in with a soft friendly voice is mostly all she needs. If she doesn't listen right away, then a disappointed sound in my voice is enough to get her attention again. ”

The Rivet/Oakley Litter!

Located in Oklahoma, United States





Info Coming Soon






Rocky Mountain Shilohs Presents: The Cyan/Jack Litter!

Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota





8 puppies (4 males, 4 females) born Feb. 26, 2020!

Cyan is our gorgeous, cuddly girl from Atara and Koal’s second litter. Jack (Riverwind’s Moonshine and Roses, aka Jack) is from Riverwind’s Ruby-Obi litter. Cyan is a wonderful combination of her parents Atara and Koal, both in temperament and conformation. Koal’s parents, Ginger and Piston, have both been Grand Victrix and Grand Victor respectively, and Atara’s sire, Rocky, is a therapy dog who has helped numerous children with their reading skills. Cyan’s family home schools their children, and Cyan is right in the middle of all that learning!

Jack is a therapy dog and has been going into schools with his owner since he was a puppy to help children with their reading skills, just like Rocky. Read more about Jack’s therapy work here. In addition to being a therapy dog, Jack has done agility work, and has even learned to paddle board with some of his humans!

Both Cyan and Jack are people-oriented, with calm temperaments, and we expect that to come through in their puppies, along with that famous Shiloh sense of humour, and great intelligence. We expect to see good size with medium to heavy bone, really nice ears, and outstanding movement. Both Cyan and Jack have wide muzzles, and we hope to see Cyan’s beautiful blocky head carry through. Jack’s agility in paddle boarding with his people is not a genetic trait, but it shows a Shiloh can be trained to paddle board, so hopefully one of these puppies will follow in Jack’s paw prints.

The puppies have plush coats, and we expect varying shades of brown, grey, and possibly black sable.

Litter whelped and raised on an acreage near Minneapolis, Minnesota. Puppies will be ready for their new homes as of April 23rd.

All pups sold through Rocky Mountain Shilohs. To contact us for more details, please visit the Rocky Mountain Shilohs website.


SPRING 2020


Guardian Kennels Presents: Eleiko-Arkan/Django

Located in Alberta, Canada






After the incredible success of the Eleiko/Django litter last spring, we thought it would be a shame to not repeat the pairing. But in order to bring some new genetics into our program, we decided to throw a bit of a twist into the mix and breed a dual-sired litter with Arkan.
The Eleiko/Django pairing represents the culmination of our breeding program at Guardian Kennels. Every dog that has come through our program is represented in the combination of Eleiko and Django and, as a breeder, it doesn’t get much more satisfying than that!

Eleiko’s focused, exuberant personality will bring some character to these pups. Her strong structure and width of body exemplify many of the goals that we aim for in our breedings.

Django brings to the match incredible length of leg and wolf-like movement along with strong hips and a rock solid disposition.

But as a breeder, we are always looking to the future and Arkan, from Echo Shilohs in Indiana seemed like a great choice to bring some new genetics to our program and to the Northwest.
Arkan’s beautiful grey sable colouring along with his small ears, beautiful top line and outstanding athleticism will make these pups traffic stoppers.

We expect very confident, athletic, outgoing pups with size and substance. No couch potatoes here. Pups from this combination will be all plush in various shades and colours of dual and sable. Solid blacks are not expected as Eleiko does not carry the black recessive.

All pups will be DNA tested to determine parentage.

These pups will be whelped and raised at Guardian Kennels. Pregnancy has been confirmed. Pups expected March 17, 2020. Very limited room on this litter depending on litter size, sire grouping and gender ratio.

Follow the Eleiko/Django/Arkan litter here.





Guardian Kennels Presents: Matsu/Django

Located in Alberta, Canada






With the return of Matsu to our pack, we are excited to see what she can add to our breeding program. Her flashy golden sable colouring along with her lovely topline and beautiful head should create pups that will turn some heads. Her inviting smile and exceptional willingness to please should make these pups very people oriented and trainable.

Django, again, brings to the match incredible length of leg and wolf-like movement along with strong hips and a rock solid disposition.

The pups from this pairing should have some lovely size! With Matsu at roughly 30” and Django pushing 33”, the size genes should be locked in.
We are expecting all plush pups with colors varying from light sable to much darker hues. No solid whites or solid blacks are expected.

These pups will be whelped and raised at Guardian Kennels. Breeding completed in late March.

Dutch Pride Presents: Floki/Maddox

Located in The Netherlands, Europe





All pups of this litter are spoken for.

On May 10, 2020, Mother’s Day, Floki had a date with Maddox. Four weeks later, an ultrasound confirmed that puppies are on the way. This litter will be born in Germany. This litter is spoken for.

For information you can contact the puppy mediation: info@sscn.nl

Both dogs have undergone the following tests required by the International Shiloh Shepherd Alliance:

  • Holter test (heart)
  • Hips x-rays (PennHip)
  • Elbows X-rays
  • DNA Diversity examined by UC Davis
  • DM
  • Temperament Test
  • DPS-Fast Forward To The Top (Maddox)

    Maddox is a sweet, curious, and protective dog, who gets along well with other dogs, both large and small dogs, when walking around, but he will never lose sight of us.

    He also walks well on a leash, usually a few meters in front of us, sniffs a lot and keeps an eye and ear on his surroundings. Occasionally he will go after a running cat but will come back to you very soon.

    At home he gets along well with most of our cats, but some of our older males prefer to avoid him (find him too big).

    Cyclists and cars or other people passing by is no problem.

    He is a sensitive dog, who is easily impressed by a raised voice. He does fine by being consistent and handled with a soft hand.

    He can be left alone very well and often sleeps in the garden. Car trips are also no problem. He’s is really a teddy bear, he would prefer to lie on your lap, but with a height of 83 cm and a weight of 62 kg unfortunately that is not possible.

    DP’s Shield Maiden Floki FCS (Floki)

    Our Floki is a very relaxed girl. We were amazed how cool she took it when we picked her up from Fishercrane Shilohs, North Carolina, drove 500 miles to Pennsylvania, with overnight stay in a motel, although she was car sick every day. When she was a puppy, she has always been good at telling us, when she needed to go out. Accidents in the happened, because we were not listening. After the holiday we all spent with friends, we had to fly back to Germany, when we picked her up after an 8 hrs flight, she jumped out of her box, just like she last saw us 5 minutes ago.

    She is very good with people, children and other dogs. She can open doors, which was an advantage when all three dogs had to be in a kennel for a few days and Jade escaped. Floki took Saga by the paw, opened the doors were the kennel owners live and both stood in the middle of the room to tell them something was wrong. She also has tried to calm her friends Runa and Jade down, when they were fighting a bit.

    And she can count up to 3 when I couldn’t. One night I let the girls out in the garden, I thought all were back in the house and went back to bed. Floki was restless and trying to tell me something, so I got up to let her out again and found Jade outside at the door. Floki was happy when everybody was back in the house.

    She is very relaxed, very friendly and very intelligent, very loving and very well behaved. She has a very easy care fur, as she does not have a thick undercoat.

    She loves to play fetch, throws the balls in front of us so we come and play with her. She is very easy walking on and off the lead.

    What can we say, she is just wonderful!







    Jewel Shilohs Presents: Lykai/Koda OUTCROSS

    Located in The Netherlands, Europe






    Koda is the second outcross male to use the International Shiloh Shepherd Alliance to increase the genetic diversity of our breed.

    Koda has passed all health tests with flying colors. The test to assess his genetic diversity showed that he is also an excellent genetic choice for our Shiloh Shepherd.

    Again, the choice fell on a male from a different breed group than the shepherd, which mainly has to do with the addition of new genetic material. The origin of the Samoyed is different from that of the shepherd, so they are also genetically different from the shepherd.

    The temperament of Koda and Lykai matches. They are both laid-back, intelligent dogs. They are social towards humans and animals and get along well with children. Both can walk independently and listen well.

    The Samoyed used to be used as a "heating" at night. Unlike, for example, the Huskies who had to spend the night outside, the Samoyed slept with their owners in the igloo to keep the children and adults warm. Their friendly, social character is therefore anchored in their genes.

    In addition to their social, confident temperament, the Samoyed has other positive points, such as: small shapely ears, a broad head and a broad chest. We hope to see this with the puppies.

    Of course there are also downsides: Koda is 57 cm, with that he is smaller than the Shiloh, in action he carries the tail on his back, his color is white with biscuit we have to wait and see how this inherits, Koda has no distychiasis, but this is for the Samoyed, we will also have to pay attention to this.

    An exciting time is dawning. Of course, first of all if the mating is successful and if so the puppies: they will give us what we hope for!





    Sentinel Shilohs Presents: Chassis/Diesel OUTCROSS

    Located in Pennsylvania, United States






    Announcing the breeding of the US/Canada outcross between Diesel and Victory’s Sassy Chassis of DPS from Sentinel Shilohs.

    Diesel was recommended by a Malamute breeder who told Shani and Mike that she loves Shilohs and knew Tina. She did not have the time to work with us herself, but pointed to a breeder she had mentored who had a magnificent giant Malamute named Diesel.

    Diesel’s temperament is atypical for the Malamute his owner describes him as the leader of the pack he will just sit back and watch but if he need to intervene he is there to break up the chaos. He take things in stride is very mellow and low energy. After 30 minutes of play he is content to rest. He Is good with kids and seems to know the difference and even at his size is very gentle. He is good with people but he will let you know if he is unhappy by talking “whoo whoo” appears to be language of choice. He had never seen cats but at the vet there were 2 cats In cages and he just sniffed the crate and ignored.

    Chassis is more high energy and happy go lucky out of the box Shiloh. She is smart with little prey drive. She is well mannered with a more submissive temperament. She has the perfect Shiloh coat easy to manage, she has size behind her as shown In her off spring. Chassis has the correct plush coat to counter the heavy Malamute coat. She brings quick intelligence, excellent movement and trainability to Diesel, and he brings large bone, height and width of build to her. Both have small ears.

    We are hoping to get large size, with diesels chest and front , and laid back personality with Chassis’s sense of humor , love of life, and beautiful movement and coat. We are hoping to bring back the undercoat we are losing that Tina claimed came from the malamute.

    We would like to see these pups to go to homes that are invested in the health and betterment of the breed. All pups will need to go through strict health testing and 1-2 will be hopefully chosen to create the F2 generation. Bringing back the Shiloh type with the health and diversity from the mal.



    Echo Shilohs Presents: Salem/Blu

    Located in Indiana, United States



    Echo's Wish Upon an Envied Starr
    "Salem"
    DOB: June 7, 2016
    Brown Sable Plush
    Height: 27"
    Weight: 80 pounds
    PennHIP: (L) 0.22 and (R) 0.23
    OFA Hips: Excellent
    Holter: clear (6 months)
    OFA Heart: Normal Echo - Cardiologist
    OFA Elbows: Normal
    DM: N/N

    Rocky Mountain Shadow of Blu
    "Blu"
    DOB: August 10, 2016
    Black Sable Plush
    Height: 31"
    Weight: 125 pounds
    OFA Hips: Good
    Holter: clear (8 months)
    Heart: Auscultation Normal - Practioner
    OFA Elbows: Normal
    DM: N/N





    Salem is a fantastic girl, who fits right in anywhere. She greets people with a wagging tail, has a huge smile on her face when being petted. Salem is very versatile, loves her daily walks and going hiking. She gets along well with her tiny housemate, a terrier mix and loves to lick the cats in the face. She believes everyone is her friend and has no qualms going up and saying hi. Salem lives for cuddling in your lap and belly rubs. Salem has produced some confident pups, and I expect this litter to be much of the same.

    "Blu is an extremely easy going, low energy, laid back dog, calm mentally and physically, but is also very confident, brave, obedient and attentive with anything he does and is always willing and excited to learn new things. He is smart, and when I say smart, you can literary see this dog thinking out his options when trying to solve something!

    Socially, Blu is probably one of the friendliest dogs you’ll ever meet. He is very people and dog friendly, has never jumped, nor gotten overly excited when greeting, and always comes away with new friends. He is never shy when approached, loves going in stores, and large crowds have never phased him – a dog you can literally take anywhere!

    Family wise, Blu is extremely loyal – especially with our kids. He is always the most excited when he gets to go out to places with them and loves to play and interact with them anyway he possibly can. At the end of the day though, what he loves doing the most is just being with his family, whether it’s doing something active, or watching a movie. He’s right there, just trying to be as close to us as he possibly can be."
    - Blu's owner

    Are you ready for the perfect family dog? With the combination of Salem and Blu, we should see confident, lower energy dogs that will do well in most families. They should be on the larger side, wide bodied and in a variety of plush coated sables. We may see a few duals as well, if Blu carries the gene.

    To touch base with us for details on this litter or our future plans, you can contact us here, on our web site at www.echoshilohs.com!

    Moonshine Shilohs Presents: Kida/Wally

    Located in Florida, United States


    Moonshine Shilohs proudly announces the upcoming Kida/Wally breeding, with puppies expected in mid-February and ready to go to their new homes around mid-April.

    Kida (River Pack's Heart of Atlantis) is a smart, young girl who is a fast learner and gets along well with everyone. She is very affectionate, playful and sometimes a silly girl, who enjoys being around humans, cats, dogs, and others. While she loves to play outdoors with her dog and human friends alike, she is just as happy to lie around the house and chew on a bone or take a nap.

    Wally (Echo's Minor League Storm Wall) is a goofball and loves to talk and narrate. Wally enjoys whatever his human's throw at him and is a confident boy who greets life with enthusiasm. He treats everything like he is a kid going to Disney World for the first time.

    In addition to healthy puppies first and foremost, Moonshine Shilohs expects this pairing will produce beautiful puppies with good structure and good conformation as both Kida and Wally provide strong attributes in these areas. We anticipate confident, outgoing, friendly, cheerful and talkative pups, with little temperament issues. We think these pups will be full of energy, fun and sassy, and will perform well in an active family environment. We anticipate a combination of plush and smooth pups in various shades of sable, as well as duals. If interested, please contact Moonshine Shilohs at MoonshineShilohs@outlook.com or visit us at Moonshine Shilohs.



    Guardian Kennels Presents: Eleiko/Conley

    Located in Alberta, Canada


    This year we decided to go in a new direction in our pairing with Eleiko. For the first time ever at Guardian Kennels, we have used a smooth coated (traditional German Shepherd length) male in one of our breedings.

    Conley is a magnificent smooth male from Fisher Crane Shilohs in North Carolina. I met him in person (or is that “in dog”) several years ago at our National Show in St. Louis, MO and have been looking for an opportunity to use him ever since. He brings to the table outstanding structure with a solid stable personality to match along with strong hips and beautiful movement.

    Eleiko’s focused, exuberant personality will bring some character to these pups. Her strong structure and width of body exemplify many of the goals that we aim for in our breedings.

    We expect very confident, athletic, outgoing pups with size and substance. We are expecting pups from this pairing in both plush and smooth coat in various shades and colours of dual.

    This pairing represents some lines that are very rare and valuable to our gene pool as this may be the only opportunity for Conley to be used. Due to the rarity of these genes and the importance of carrying them forward, we will be carefully selecting dogs for breeding homes. All of the pups from this litter will be required to complete our health testing (holter, hips/elbows) as is normal. Since I generally request that pets not be altered (neutered or spayed) prior to 18-24 months for the health of the dog, I may opt to collect semen for shipping or freezing on some of the males in order to further preserve these lines.

    These pups will be whelped and raised at Guardian Kennels. Pregnancy has been confirmed. Pups expected Feb 11, 2021. Very limited room on this litter with only possible availability being smooth coats (traditional GSD length).



    Guardian Kennels Presents: Matsu/Chester

    Located in Alberta, Canada


    A last minute change of plans in this breeding led us to “Plan B” and I pulled some of my 15 year old frozen semen from our incredible stud dog "Chester" (Guardian’s Smokin’ Winchester) out of storage.

    Chester was a product of our very first litter here at Guardian and holds a very dear place in my heart. He had a sense of humour like no other dog I know and could not imagine meeting someone that he did not like nor that did not like him. He stood stud here for many years and produced some incredible progeny. Through the wonder of the technology of frozen semen, we can weave some of these old outcross (Artus) lines back into our current dogs and incorporate some of his outstanding qualities into these pups. He brings to the table a beautiful solid structure with heavy oval bone, wide head and incredible hips.

    Matsu proved herself as an amazing mother last year when she reared 11 beautiful pups. Her outgoing, playful disposition, incredible structure and big presence will combine with Chester’s to hopefully produce some big, solid traffic stopper pups!

    These lines as well are very rare and valuable to our gene pool so selection of pups for breeding homes will be a priority. All plush pups with probable dual coloring expected in this pairing.

    Pregnancy has been confirmed. Due to expected litter size, this litter is all spoken for.





    SUMMER 2021

     

    Guardian Kennels/Timbaland Shilohs Presents: Jovi/Logan

    Located in Alberta, Canada



    Jovi is our stunning daughter of Django that is co-owned with Timbaland Shilohs. Inheriting that drop dead gorgeous “WOW” factor from her mother (Indy), Jovi turns heads wherever she goes. She is a big solid black sable girl with heavy bone, huge chest and a personality to match. A sense of humour best describe her fun-loving disposition that she definitely got from both Indy and Django.

    Logan is a grandson of Lobo from Riverwind Shilohs in Oklahoma and I have long been looking for a place to use these genetics in my program. Logan’s beautiful auburn colouring makes him a stand out in the show ring and on the street. He brings to the table a wide head, level top line and outstanding chest.

    We are excited to see what these two will produce together. Character and beauty will be at the top of the list!

    These pups will be whelped and raised at Timbaland Shilohs in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. All plush pups in various shades of dark sables are expected.






     

    Wilderness Kennels / Guardian Kennels Presents: Mixal/Johnny Cash

    Located in British Columbia, Canada





    Mixal is our stunning girl from the Kyla/Atticus litter and again, compiles many of our home grown Guardian genetics into a beautiful package. Her solid body with outstanding width and volume along with her regal neck makes her an amazing representation of our breed. Her soft, biddable personality makes Mixal a joy to be around.

    Cash, too brings our some of our Guardian genetics full circle and goes back to some of our original dogs. Those, along with the addition of some unique genetics in his grandsire, makes this mix a bit unique.
    Cash brings to the table and exceptional length of leg (thank you Gramma Shawnee!) along with small ears and lovely head. These, along with his happy, people oriented personality will be an incredible match to Mixal.

    We are expecting all plush puppies in a variety of colours of sable. There is a distinct possibility of solid white pups being produced.

    The Mixal/Cash pairing is a co-owned litter in conjunction with Wilderness Kennels on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia.

    This litter will be whelped and raised at Wilderness Kennels. All pups will be sold and placed through Guardian Kennels. Breeding expected April 2021.

    Ivy is my pick pup from her litter. She has grown into a great example of the Shiloh breed. Ivy is outgoing and loves playing with her pack mates and loves playing ball. She is her owner's shadow and goes everywhere she does. As a pup she used to join her owner at the Juice bar she owns.

    Isaac is a great example of a Shiloh. He is laid back, loving and a total love bug. He can be protective of his home, and can outsmart any of his housemates (dogs or people!). He is the only one able to open doors in the house and he can be michevious if he doesn't get what he wants. He is rock solid in public and nothing phases him.

    By pairing these two we will get laid back, smart, funny and sassy puppies that will do well in most any home. We should get some softer temperaments, but with amazing confidence. These puppies will be all sables and duals in plush and smooth coats. Fun fact - all the duals will carry the black recessive from their mom!






    Guardian Kennels / Timbaland Shilohs Presents: Jovi/Timba

    Located in Alberta, Canada




    Jovi is our stunning daughter of Django that is co-owned with Timbaland Shilohs. Inheriting that drop dead gorgeous “WOW” factor from her mother (Indy), Jovi turns heads wherever she goes. She is a big solid black sable girl with heavy bone, huge chest and a personality to match. A sense of humour best describes her fun-loving disposition that she definitely got from both Indy and Django.

    Timba needs no introduction as he was the long-time reigning King of Timbaland. He brings to the table a huge presence, beautiful conformation and rock solid temperament. Sadly, Timba was lost some years ago but through the wonder of the technology of frozen semen, we can weave some of these old lines back into our current dogs and incorporate some of his outstanding qualities into these pups.

    These pups will be whelped and raised at Timbaland Shilohs in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. All pups sold and guaranteed through Guardian Kennels. All plush pups in various shades of dark sables and duals are expected. Breeding expected early March 2022.

    Follow the Jovi-Timba litter.




    Guardian Kennels Presents: Matsu/Trooper

    Located in Alberta, Canada




    After some complications in our original breeding plans for Matsu, we decided that a half brother to Proximo (our original plan) was the perfect choice.

    Trooper is from SuperNova Shilohs out of their 2020 Nova/Leaguer litter. Leaguer goes back to one of the outcross dogs in our breed and gives us the opportunity to incorporate some of these genetics into our breeding program. Trooper brings a lot to the table with very nice solid structure, great movement, and a friendly, outgoing personality that means he has yet to meet a stranger! His beautiful red tones should create some outstanding colouring in these pups.

    Matsu has proven herself as an amazing mother over the past couple of years. She loves to chase a ball or stick and her focus on her people is amazing. Her outgoing, playful disposition, incredible structure and big presence will combine with Trooper’s to hopefully produce some big, solid traffic stopper pups! Her inviting smile and exceptional willingness to please should make these pups very people oriented and trainable.

    This litter will be whelped and raised at Guardian Kennels. Breeding completed early March 2022 pending ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy. We are expecting all plush coat pups in various shades of dual and sable as well as a slight chance of solid whites.

    Follow the Matsu-Trooper litter.




    Guardian Kennels Presents: Eleiko/BluBear

    Located in Alberta, Canada




    Again, after running into a few glitches with our planned studs, we had to revise our breeding plans for this year. Blubear was in our plans for NEXT year but after some careful consideration we decided to use him with Eleiko this year.

    Blubear is a product of the Echo Shilohs breeding program and we are pleased to finally be able to merge some of these genetics with our Guardian lines.

    Blubear is a magnificent plush golden sable boy. Sweet and extremely playful, he is always ready for a game of ball if he can find a willing partner! Oblivious of his huge size, he is extremely lovable and will climb onto beds to snuggle as if he’s a lapdog. He is great with his two kids in the family, is friendly with everyone, and also a protective watchdog from the window. Blubear’s beautiful movement and show winning structure will lock in these features in these pups.

    Eleiko’s focused, exuberant personality will bring some character to these pups. Her strong structure and width of body exemplify many of the goals that we aim for in our breedings.

    We expect very confident, athletic, outgoing pups with size and substance. All plush coats in various shades and colours of sable and dual are expected.

    These pups will be whelped and raised at Guardian Kennels. Breeding completed early March 2022 pending ultrasound confirmation of pregnancy.

    Follow the Eleiko-BluBear litter.

    Color Carrier: Sable/unknown

    Echo Shilohs is excited to bring some of Europe over to the USA. Aron is a well balanced, solid boy and will bring a lot of genetic diversity to my program. He is a confident, happy go lucky boy with low prey drive who enjoys hanging out with family. He protects his bunny friend and their kids.

    Thomas, from Rocky Mountain Shilohs, is a service dog in training and learning water rescue. He enjoys being with his family wherever they go, and whatever they do- which includes trips to the store, hiking, camping, training, and he even goes to work with his owner. He is extremely confident, bombproof, and loves nothing more than to be doing something. He is very sweet, loving, and I am looking forward to see what he brings to this litter.

    Yahtzee is a solid black smooth coated girl, who is actually the first solid black smooth coat in our registry since the early 2000's. She brings goofy, higher energy and good conformation to the table. Yahtzee is a true family dog, who loves to be wherever they are. She goes out camping, hiking, swimming, and being out on the town. She always has her nose to the ground and is going to start some nosework classes. Yahtzee's higher energy will pair well with Aron's calmer energy and we hope to have fantastic conformation and solid family dog characteristics. Their conformations balance each other out and we should see well-balanced Shilohs that are amazing family dogs and will be ready to do anything you want them to do. By adding in Thomas to this litter, we should see exponential confidence and fantastic, active family dogs. These dogs will want to go with their families everywhere and would excel in sports, as they will need daily activity.

    This will be a dual sired litter and we will DNA test them prior to leaving to verify parentage. We will see plush and smooth coats in a variety of sables, with the possibility of a dual or two.

    Breeding Planned for Oct






    Echo Shilohs Presents: Xena/JohnnyCash

    Located in Indiana, United States







    Guardian Kennels Presents: Indie/Spartan

    Located in Cochrane, Canada


    Indie is our Jetta/Lomax girl that in so many ways reminds me of her beautiful mother. Her calm, even temperament and honest, willing personality make her a dream to train. Her unassuming, confident presence reflects the intuitive nature that our Shilohs are famous for. Exceptional size and structure are just a bonus!

    Due to the timing of this breeding, we had to make a last minute change in studs (yep, the Guardian girls have thrown a curve ball again!) and we opted to use our handsome Zoey/Timba son, Spartan. Spartan’s outgoing personable nature and lovely structure were a great fit for Indie.

    Exceptional toplines, strong ears and wide solid bodies are some of the qualities that we expect in these pups. There will probably be a range of personalities in the pups from slightly softer to very outgoing. We are expecting all plush puppies in varying shades of sable and duals.

    This litter will be raised near Cochrane, Alberta. Pregnancy pending confirmation.

    Please follow this litter here.

    Due August 14th

    Salem is a sweet, loving Shiloh that is pretty laid back and go with the flow girl. She is the best of both worlds, a great family dog, class clown and protective of her home. She is a girl I can take anywhere with me and she fits right in. I have decided to bring some older genetics into the mix along with Salem's rarer lines, having Yoshi behind her.

    By adding Kovu into the mix, we will bring see confidence, a sense of humor and some bomb proof dogs. He routinely goes with his owners to equestrian competitions and is very gun sure, as they do a lot of shooting on horseback. He greets everyone he meets with a smile and everyone falls in love with him. We will see a combination of Sables and Solid Blacks in plush and smooth coats.

    This will be a repeat breeding and in the first litter we got some bigger puppies with outgoing temperaments and a lot of energy and a fair amount of independence. These puppies have been game for anything and love to hike and be with their humans. I expect more of the same.






    Super Nova Shilohs Presents: Vega/Tuuka Bear

    Super Nova Shilohs is proud to announce the pairing of our own Vega to Guardian Shiloh's Tuuka Bear! We are excited to get some real smart, friendly, and fun-loving puppies from this breeding!

    Vega is our (almost) solo puppy from our last Nova/Lobo breeding. She's super sweet and silly like her mama, and tall and smart just like her daddy! Vega is a fun loving little joker who has bonded very closely with her family and keeps things lively with her sense of humor.

    Tuuka Bear is a giant sweetie pie. As a puppy he was a standout at his LER and originally placed for Therapy Dog work! We can't wait to see the little teddy bears he helps produce!
