Tribute to Julie Ann

BelleGrace's Miss Julie Ann(Skye/Sera)
3/8/2009 - 2/22/2010

We have no control over what life hands us, we just must have faith that God always has a plan.
Julie was a very special girl, confident, outgoing, very friendly and exceptionally intelligent. She was my Allie's grand-daughter, and Allie was my heart and soul. I sent this girl knowing she was also going to be this couple's heart and soul. She left me at 8 weeks to go spend her life in Florida. It should have been a long life, but genetics handed her a horrible twist. As hard as we try, as much as we plan, research, and test, sometimes that is just not enough.
Julie left us, setting a perfect example of bravery. She faced her issues with courage, patience, determination and stamina. No one could have asked for more from this girl.

Godspeed, Miss Julie Ann. May you be free from pain, and be able to run and play like a whole dog in the fields of heaven. Your grandma would have been so very proud of you. Now you join her at the Rainbow Bridge. You have touched everyone you have ever met, and will be missed by all.

We are thrilled to announce the breeding of our newest stud, Yukon to one of our sweetest girls, Taylor.
Yukon is from Alaska, and brings to the board true old line original Shiloh genetics. He has huge size, incredible bone, a blocky head, and overall, well balanced conformation. Temperament-wise he carries the "Gentle Giant" personality that the Shiloh has become known for; condfidence, stability, and presence.
Taylor is our princess, and is sweet as sugar. Her personality is loving and cuddly, like a big teddy bear. She has beautiful conformation, flawless movement and that rich red-brown coloring. The very special lines behind her from her dam and sire will produce some incredible size when taken to Yukon.
All plush puppies, mostly sables, with medium/medium-soft temperaments are anticipated in Spring 2010. These will be exceptional pups, with true Shiloh type; perfect family companion dogs that will be sure to turn heads.
These pups will be a 4th generation Orbit/5th generation Artus and will be considered non-new bloods.
Please contact BelleGrace Shilohs to make one of these incredible pups a member of your family!

Alaska Comes to the Mid-Atlantic!

Alaska? Sure looks like it and feels like it too, with temps falling into the single digits. Think maybe Yukon had something to do with this wintery weather? Afterall, he is from Alaska.

A beautiful snowy night

Early morning accumulation, with another 3-5" expected.

Mr. Yukon, snug and warm in the kitchen. He doesn't care if it snows!

BelleGrace News

December 2011: Congratulations to Willow, our beautiful Renegade/Grace daughter for passing her hips. We will be looking for a suitable stud for Willow for early Spring 2012. Willow lives nearby in North Huntingdon PA.

The Rest of 2010:It was such a busy year, we lost track of the time. Jordan blessed us with a dozen pups in August, and Kohl delivered seven in November. Both litters were sired by our most handsome stud, Cooper.

We have been working hard in rescue, looking for good homes for Shilohs in need. We also have a couple of our own dogs that are being retired and who are looking for forever homes.

We welcomed our newest stud puppy, Tucson into our home. Yukon is being retired due to sterility issues.

At this time, we have no planned litters for 2011.

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

May 2010:

We welcome the arrival of our dual sired litter: Renegade/Rayne/Cooper. Arriving on May 25-26, eight furry bundles of joy entered the world. Pups will be DNA'd between 3-4 weeks to determine parentage.

Queenie, our Renegade/Grace girl has a future as a therapy dog. She has started visiting assisted living facilities, giving love to patients as only a shiloh can do.

Congratulations to Yukon and Kiara on passing their OFA heart certifications.

Congratulations to Joi for her OFA normal elbows and pennhip evaluation with .47 .57

A big congratulations to Yukon, for passing his CGC! Awesome job, big boy!

April 2010:

April came and went so quickly. Spring is here, and the terrible winter is over. All of the Shilohs are shedding their coats, getting ready for summer. Great news in that our Foxy grandson, who lives in Canada is going to be a dad. Congratulations to Mystical Shilohs And Atreyu!

March 2010:

March brings sad news to BelleGrace, with the loss of our Skye/Sera pup, Julie and the loss of our precious Foxy. May they meet at the Rainbow Bridge, where they are healed, whole and pain-free.

May God Bless both of these wonderful Shilohs, for their devotion, and unconditional love they have given their owners. If only humans could be more like dogs, what a wonderful world it would be.

February 2010: An Exciting Announcement!

Watch for an upcoming announcement titled

"The Yukon Trail"

Jordan can boast a happy heart! "All clear" was the Doctor's final evaluation and Jordan can add an OFA heart certification to her list of health testing.

The Skye/Rayne pups are all in their new homes with the exception of Miss Summer, who is still available. This stunning smooth girl is built like a tank and will make someone a great companion. Please contact us for more information or visit their blog

Cooper had his final adult hip testing completed, and we are waiting for the results. Indication from the penn-hip certified vet was that he is "Good to go!"

A very special happy birthday to our Ria (Dawn/Zorro) and a tribute for her sister, Allie. At the age of nine, Ria is doing great, and still can float across the yard with that flawless "flying trot".

Another very special birthday, our very first Shiloh litter, the Allie/Grizz litter, turn 6 years old this month.

Special Birthday greetings to Sera, Missy, Jesse, Shilo, Tino, and Lucky.
