Welcoming 2012

Chillin' in their motor home on vacation

Royal Shilohs and BelleGrace Shilohs will be ringing in the New Year with the anticipation of puppies! Arriving approximating a year earlier than planned, this litter of pups will be a welcome bright spot to help chase the winter blues away.

Knightro took matters into his own paws, and seduced the lovely Lady Sterling. He did not read the play book, so failed to understand that the timing was not quite right. This litter, although planned for later in 2012, has happened now.

We are anticipating sables and duals in both plush and smooth coats. Temperaments on both parents are sweet, loving and willing to please which we expect to be passed to the pups.
Pups will all be placed as companion quality and will receive limited registration papers through the NKC.
This litter is located in North Carolina.

Please contact Royal Shilohs or BelleGrace Shilohs for more information.

Remember Me?

2011-12-14T05:35:00.000-08:00

I was the sweet little girl that so many people wanted but my grandma was looking for the perfect home, so wouldn't let me go until she found it! I now live with a wonderful family in North Huntingdon PA and have a boy to call my own!

My name is Willow and I am a Foxy grand-daughter. I just passed my health testing and am in search of the perfect boyfriend. (I personally hope it is Cooper as he is SOOOOOO handsome!)

I think I was very cute as a puppy and have grown up into a beautiful "willowy" girl! Guess my name fits me to a T!

Happy Holidays!

2011-12-10T17:34:00.000-08:00

Wishing everyone a very blessed holiday season!

Playing with Mr Cooper!

2011-09-25T05:59:00.000-07:00

We have two beautiful males from the Kohl/Skye litter looking for their forever homes. Both are sables, one plush and one smooth. They spent some time yesterday playing with their Uncle cooper, who is the sweetest boy I have ever owned.He makes a great baby-sitter!

Mint/Kiara

2011-06-06T09:41:00.001-07:00

Pictured below are the pups from the Mint/Kiara litter. At 4 1/2 weeks, they are coming along nicely. Looks as if we will have several gray sables, and a couple of very dark black sables as well. I am seeing beautiful broad heads, tiny ears, and balanced conformation in these pups.
This is an exceptional litter with authentic original shiloh lines. For more information, please contact us, or visit
http://www.bellegraceshilohs.com/puppies.htm#KiaraMint

Puppies will be available to go to their new homes the end of June.

Spring is Here!

2011-05-28T05:37:00.000-07:00

With the arrival of Spring, our horses are enjoying their new pasture. What a beautiful sight!

A Change of Pace x 2

2011-04-05T05:11:00.000-07:00

In a previous post, we told you about Lady Guinevere, our rescue filly out of Camelot. Horses must have companionship of their own kind, so two weeks ago we welcomed "Splash" to our barn. She was in a position where her owner could no longer keep her at her current stable so we agreed to let her move to ours. The two have hit is off and are doing great. We are finding a great relaxation in caring for these horses, it is definitely a change of pace from dogs!

Announcing.....

2011-03-23T05:09:00.000-07:00

The Cooper/Bria litter!

Talk about Type! This litter will definitely have type! This breeding will be locking in broad heads, perfect triangular shiloh-sized ears, and beautifully marked faces. Add to that width of body, awesome bone, saber tails, excellent health, and superior intelligence, what more could one ask for in a pup?

Cooper is a dog that everyone wants. Anyone that meets Cooper wants to steal him away : ) He is the love of our Shiloh life, always by our side and willing to give 110% in every avenue attempted.

Bria is a true sweetheart, no wonder her and Cooper hit it off. She is so loving, kind and willing to please; a perfect family companion!

What you see in these two dogs is what you will see in their pups. Bringing together Cooper and Bria will produce stunning sable puppies that will look like the parents. Thick plush coats and super sweet soft temperaments are a given.

These beautiful puppies arrived on March 16th. Follow their progress on their own blog
http://bgscooperbria.blogspot.com
We are now accepting deposits on this incredible litter.

The Loner

2011-02-14T20:33:00.000-08:00

Loner is a Coz/Kohl pup and is really growing into a handsome boy. He has a thick dense smooth coat, much like his mama, Kohl. And if you remember the picture of when he was just a baby, well now he is twice the size of his dam. He has buffed out a bit and unfortunately, lost some pigment in his nose, but otherwise, he is a stunning boy.

A Change of Pace

2011-02-12T19:45:00.000-08:00

BelleGrace has made a change of pace! We have opened our home and hearts to a rescue of a different species. This lovely little lady, just a baby, will be arriving soon and will be taking up residence in our barn. We hope she will be joined by a friend who will be boarding the stall next to hers. A definite change of pace for us! We welcome the most lovely "Lady Guinevere".

Cooper's Winter Walk 2011

2011-01-24T07:39:00.000-08:00

It was cold, figid in fact but we still like to take short jaunts. And our camera is a must! Cooper and I ventured out on Sunday to take some pictures and enjoy the "brisk" weather. We cut our walk short though as my fingers and Cooper's paws just got too cold.
Enjoy the shots we took. Cooper is exactly what I feel a plush Shiloh should look like. He is our most handsome boy and we are very proud to be owned by him!

Brutus and Conagher

2010-12-26T05:27:00.000-08:00

Brutus and Conagher live locally, about 45 minutes from us. Brutus was the first Shiloh of the family, joining 2 German Shepherds that already resided there. As I have said many times before, you can not have only one Shiloh. When Conagher was looking for his forever home, Brutus' family stepped forward and were thrilled to add another Shiloh to their doggie family.

Brutus turned one year old on Dec 7, and celebrated with his entire family! Look at the size of this boy at only one year old! And we thought Conagher was big!

Happy Birthday, Brutus!

Two buddies, just hanging out. Brutus really resembles his mama in this picture!

Remembering KodaBear 1/17/07 - 10/28/10

2010-12-19T06:17:00.000-08:00

We mourn the loss of our true gentle giant, Brown's KodaBear of BelleGrace. Koda passed suddenly on Oct 28th at the young age of 3. It was discovered there was a tumor at the base of the skull on the cervical spine.
Koda will always be remembered for his gentle loving nature, his kind heart, his giant size of 140+ lbs, and his awesome looks. We join in with his family to mourn this tragic loss.
God Speed, Koda. We will all miss you so much, you truly left your pawprints on our hearts.

Introducing Tucson

2010-12-05T17:19:00.000-08:00

Introducing our newest boy here at BelleGrace:
BelleGrace's Mystical Tucson

From north of the border in Canada, arriving in the snow and cold, our new boy is a stunning bi-black/cream plush. We have hoped for a male from this lineage for three years and finally the timing was right. We found we were wishing for much warmer weather and sunshine while driving to pick up this boy. Where best to find that than the beautiful state of Arizona!

Tucson is a Spanish word meaning "black base" a reference to the mostly volcanic mountains on the west side of the city. Our Tucson is mostly black, he has spice, he has attitude, he is a talker (much like a volcano). It just seemed to fit all the way around, hence his name.

Tucson is from Mystical Shilohs Jasper/Gaby litter in Canada.

2010-08-15T19:07:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Conagher and his new family! Conagher joins another Shiloh, Brutus from the Strider/Jordan litter in his new home in Pittsburgh PA. We wish Conagher and his new family many years of happiness and joy.

Available Adults

2010-07-08T08:10:00.000-07:00

We currently have a couple of adults available to approved "forever" homes. For more information, please visit
http://bellegraceshilohsavailableadults.blogspot.com/
Pictured above is Conagher, who is looking for a very special home. Conagher came to us from Ridgewood Shilohs. He is a very large three year old golden sable plush. Unfortunately, this boy has severe hip dysplasia, and needs a home that understands his limitations. He can function perfectly as a companion dog, one who spends his time at his master's side, as long as that does not include hiking and strenuous activity. But as a house dog, he is perfect, to alert when someone comes to the door and make a presence of size. He loves to be wherever his humans are. Conagher has had basic obedience training and is extremely willing to please. He is crate trained, and has been raised in our home with us. He would be wonderful with children but I do not know his reaction to cats. I imagine he would want to play with them, as he does not have an aggressive bone in his body.
Contact us for more information on Conagher and our other available adults

Dante' now known as Rocky

2010-05-28T17:38:00.000-07:00

Dante' was from our T-ra/Kit litter, while still with the ISSR. One of the most heartbreaking moments is when you find out one of your beautiful pups has not passed its health testing. This is what happened with Dante'. Our most handsome boy did not pass his hips. Luckily, we had friends who had just lost their GSD, and were looking for an adult dog to bring into their home. Dante' was the perfect match and has adjusted beautifully. He is well mannered and extremely gentle with their grandchildren, even though he was not raised with kids.

This is a picture, taken this past week of our most handsome boy, now known as Rocky.

Koda Bear

2010-05-09T06:59:00.000-07:00

In a previous post, I was thrilled to show pictures of Koda, who is from our Sampson/Maizi litter 2007. Now I have to really brag, as I had the pleasure of meeting this boy in person. I haven't seen Koda since he was 8 weeks old, and when I met him again, it was one of those jaw dropped, mouth open, wide-eyed looks. He is absolutely gorgeous! At 30.5" and 138lbs, he is a tank! I was lucky that he is also a natural model, lol. Please enjoy the photos taken below of this most handsome boy.

BelleGrace High Roller Rumble

2010-04-04T19:55:00.000-07:00

Look at me now at almost nine months old. Boy, have I changed!

A very handsome boy at nine months, 110 lbs & 30"

Here I am at 8 weeks old. Wasn't I cute?

I loved to play, and even then showed beautiful movement.

Rumble lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pending health testing, we hope and pray this stunning boy will move forward in the breeding program. What a gorgeous shiloh!

Outstanding Puppy Available

2010-03-28T07:32:00.000-07:00

Loner aka Green boy from the Coz/Kohl litter is available to an approved home. This outstanding puppy was my pick of the litter. He has exceptional conformation, movement, and is developing into a beautiful boy. His coat is bright white, a thick dense smooth that feels like velvet. He has a nice broad head, perfect ears and ear set, awesome black pigment, good length of leg and body, nice tight feet, strong pasterns, and a perfect saber tail.

Available to an approved home as potential breed quality, this boy should move forward in our breeding program if he meets all qualifications. More reserved than most, he will totally devote himself to his humans, and give 110% all the time. He is cautious, and takes time to warm up to strangers, so proper socialization is a must. He has minimal prey drive, but enjoys playing. He is happiest when he is with his humans. Mostly he loves to be cuddled, and is your shadow. Loner has started puppy classes, and is working on his housebreaking skills. He is also current on all vaccines, parasite free, and was recently given an A+ at his 12 week vet exam.

We are hoping to place him in the tri-state area on a breeder's agreement.

Please contact us for more information.

BelleGrace Progeny

2010-03-17T06:53:00.000-07:00

One of the most thrilling moments of being a breeder is when you open your email box and see pictures of a puppy that has grown up into a drop dead gorgeous adult. That is what happened last night, and it comes into our lives at such a needed time. While still mourning the loss of our Foxy, this was a bright spot that will help so much toward the healing process.
This is why we do what we do, to share this intuitive sensitive breed with others.
Please enjoy the pictures of this most handsome boy.

Koda and his owner. Look at the size of this boy, especially his head!

Relaxing in the garden, Koda enjoys life.

Brown's KodaBear of BelleGrace aka Koda is from our Sampson/Maizi litter 2007. He is our Destini's brother, is located in North Carolina, and has been added to our breeding program. He has passed his health testing and is on a breeder's agreement with BelleGrace. Koda is available for stud to approved young ladies. For more information, please contact us.

BelleGrace Mourns....

2010-03-08T04:26:00.000-08:00

We mourn the loss of our precious Foxy, one Shiloh who has brought so much to our lives. She was special in every sense, and 100% devoted to us. Her lines were special as well, and if not for us, would have been lost to the Shiloh world forever. That legacy she left is extremely important to our breeding program and we will be indebted to her forever for the pups she most lovingly raised: Grace, Libby, Kiara, and her grand-pups, Jewel, Spencer, Atreyu, Jory, Nash, Hope, Peri and Willow move forward to carry on her legacy. Several others, including Madoc, Kayla, Sampson, Darby, Precious, and Remy, have blessed their owners with unconditional love as only a Shiloh knows how to give.

We are in shock and our hearts ache for the loss of this incredible dog. But at the same time, we celebrate her life, and treasure the beautiful memories she shared with us.

Foxy will be treasured in our hearts and souls forever. Go with God, sweet Foxy, we love you so.

The Legacy Continues.....

2010-02-28T11:28:00.000-08:00

BelleGrace Whisper Alleluia: Whisper, an Allie grand-daughter, is absolutely stunning! This beautiful girl has an awesome head with perfect tiny triangular ears, heavy bone, giant size, a perfect saber tail, and a temperament that is sweet and loving. We are going to be watching this girl closely as she matures!

Tribute to Julie Ann

2010-02-23T07:01:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

Alaska Comes to the Mid-Atlantic!

2010-02-06T06:58:00.001-08:00

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!

The Yukon Trail

2010-02-02T10:10:00.000-08:00

It was a long trip, from Alaska to Houston and then to Pittsburgh.
Ch Glorious Yukon SnowDancer has joined the BelleGrace gang, bringing true old line genetics to our existing breeding program.
Yukon is a sweet boy, very loving, incredibly intuitive, and absolutely huge!
This gentle giant is a true 31.5 inches at the wither,
with pennhip readings of L 0.37 R 0.35
More information coming soon, but in the meantime,
Introducing Yukon:

Winter is Wonderful!

2010-01-22T17:46:00.000-08:00

Especially if you are a polar bear. So maybe we don't have polar bears here in the Mid-Atlantic region, but we have Shiloh babies that sure resemble polar bear cubs.

The Coz/Kohl litter has five white babies and two dual babies that are too cute for words. Take a look at Mr Silver. We have nicknamed this boy Banat, which means "Bold as a Bear".
Fits him, don't you think?

Wishing You a Wonderous Holiday Season!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. ~Anonymous

To me, the above saying speaks volumes. And to see these pictures, I can say I gasped with amazement! They definitely took my breath away.
I knew that Grace, our Foxy daughter had the potential to produce some incredible pups but never in my widest dreams did I expect such breath-taking beauty.

Atreyu, who resides in Canada, is maturing into an all masculine shepherd that will definitely turn heads....and he is only 15 months old! Just imagine what he is going to look like at the age of three! And to think he has already passed his health testing!
This is a boy that we are going to be watching very closely. Bred properly, I see exactly what I was aiming for, the recreation of our Foxy, a true old line Shiloh.

Enjoy the pictures, and beware, you may need a towel!

The Beauty of Autumn

2009-10-24T06:02:00.000-07:00

October can be a beautiful month here. Bright blue cloudless skies, crsip morning air and the flaming shades of orange, red and yellow leaves.
Add a couple of Shilohs, and look out! Pictures galore!

Look at this picture of Sera, our Allie/Grizz daughter, laying outside, enjoying the autumn air. This was taken mid-October 2009.

Here is Conagher, beside a local lake, enjoying the crisp cool autumn air. The trees are just starting to turn colors in this shot, taken the first part of October 2009.

A Letter from Camp by Jordan

2009-07-26T06:27:00.000-07:00

BelleGrace's Jordan went to visit her future beau at Imladris Shilohs, to get aquainted and spend a nice summer vacation on the farm. Below is her letter of her adventures while at Camp Imladris, written by camp director Avril as dictated by Jordan.

If you remember Alan Sherman, you may recognize this.
Feel free to sing along

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Imladris
There are new friends to be meeting
But my toe has put a kibosh on our greeting

There are lots of rocks and rootsies
One of them grabbed my little tootsie
It is broken, I am limpy
And no one wants to play with one who's gimpy

There's a lady here who feeds me
She's always saying, "You poor baby"
She puts me in the kennel and crate
If she let me run she wouldn't have to say it

There's a Shiloh, her name is Angel
She likes to sniff me like I'm a bagel
She's independent and gets in trouble
Like when she leaves the yard to play in the big puddle

Ariel is another Shiloh
She seems to like me, oh I do hope so
When I am better I want to play
Oh, I hope that soon will come that day

Then there's Strider, he's a big boy
He is like a cuddly stuffed toy
When I play bow, he acts so comically
He only puts one paw out so he will not squish me

There are red dogs with funny ears here
If you go near them, they snarl and sneer
They act like they have all the riches
And the lady here calls them "the little bitches"

Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Imladris
There are new friends to have some funning
And as soon as I am better, I'll be running.

Love, Jordan

Play Day!

2009-07-25T15:00:00.001-07:00

Some BelleGrace puppies got together with friends and had a play day. Nothing is better than puppies running and romping and just having fun. Hope and Willow (Renegade/Grace) were joined by Whisper(Skye/Sera). Look at the pictures below and join in the fun had by all.

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall.....

2009-07-06T04:07:00.000-07:00

The Sera/Konrad litter is two years old! It is so hard to believe, where did that time go?
This picture was taken on July 4th, of Sera, and her daughter Joi. Joi is our Sera clone. She is the spitting image of her mother, a mirror reflection.
Sera is a very regal, dignified dog, and always carries herself much like her dam, Allie did: with poise and class.
Joi is justly named, she is a very happy girl, still much like a pup, and loves to tease.
When they are outside running and playing together, it is sometimes hard to tell the two apart. Pending health testing Joi will carry on the Alleluia line for BelleGrace.

Silver Sable?

2009-06-21T07:26:00.000-07:00

Whisper's adult undercoat @ 4 months

A Silver Sable Shiloh? This color is one of the most rare in the Shiloh world, and most sought after. This girl is from our Skye/Sera litter and after much discussion with old time breeders, we have come to the conclusion she is indeed a silver sable.
Her undercoat is white/silver with a few shades of platinum. An Allie grand-daughter, she has the potential to be a real beauty.
Introducing Whisper.....

Whisper @ 10 weeks

Jeepers, Creepers.....

2009-06-13T04:25:00.000-07:00

....where'd you get those Peepers?

This is a favorite little song we sing to Peeps.

Her formal call name is Kohl, and she is registered as

BG's Fuel'n The Fire For BearPaw. When she first came to us three years ago, she peeped like a baby bird, so the nickname Peeps or Peepers stuck. Besides, it is a fun name, and one she really responds well too.

Peeps is from the Venus/Kit litter. Although a little small in stature, she is a powerhouse in health, attitude and temperament. Her siblings are all at or well over 100 lbs. Peeps boasts OFA normal elbows, her heart has been vet cleared normal and her pennhip scores are L .29 R .27 No DJD. With those excellent hip numbers, this places Peeps above the 90th percentile.

Peeps was solid black when she first arrived, but has slowly developed a few silver hairs on her feet and lower legs. She has the most luxurious smooth coat, it feels like velvet. With her two solid black siblings, we anticipate that she carries the solid black recessive, and hope to pull that when she is bred this fall. Watch for her breeding announcement later this year.

WOW!!!!

2009-06-03T21:12:00.000-07:00

Atreyu, aka Trey from the Toran/Grace litter, has grown into an absolutely stunning male. And he can now boast passing pennhip scores, L.45 No DJD, R.37 No DJD, as well as OFA normal elbows. Trey lives at Mystical Shilohs on Canada and is on a breeders agreement with BelleGrace. Trey is proudly registered with the NSBR/NKC and will be available selectively to approved ladies.
Just look at the pictures below and see how handsome. Toran and Grace, you did good!

Trey poses for the camera

Ok, how does this look?

Trey loves his Dad!

Anyone for herding practice?

Allie's Grand-puppies, the Legacy Continues....

2009-05-12T14:04:00.000-07:00

BelleGrace Shilohs is extremely proud to introduce the next generation of the Alleluia line.
Allie's legacy continues with:

BG Alleluia's Garden of Eden aka "Eden"

May is a Wonderful Month!

2009-05-11T21:17:00.000-07:00

May has been a great month so far. Although not Shiloh related, our daughter has graduated from College with a BSN. As a Registered Nurse, she will have no problem finding a job. Congratulations Jenn, on a job well done and well worth the hundreds of hours studying! We knew you could do it!

Happy Valentine's Day from BelleGrace Wolf

Introducing Tory!

2009-01-24T20:08:00.001-08:00

This is beautiful Tory, a Toran/Honey daughter. Tory is all shepherd, intensity and drive, respectful, and loving, willing to please with a heart as big as the ocean.She does need time to warm up to people though, and tends to be cautious.
Unfortunately, Tory needed to be returned to us, as her owners will be leaving for an extended stay in England. So she will stay here, with hopes a new home can be found.
She has been started in obedience class, and will work toward her CGC this coming summer. She lives in our home with the rest of our crew and especially likes playing with our daughter's Shiloh, Mint. She is a happy girl, loves belly rubs, and is a big tease.

March update: Tory is going home! Her owners have had a major change in plans and have decided to by-pass England so they can reclaim Tory! This just goes to show how these Shilohs become such a valuable part of your family and wiggle their way into your heart and soul.
Congratulations Tory, and ofcourse to Tory's owners.

Angel's Angel

2009-01-04T18:25:00.000-08:00

Look at Angel now! Angel was adopted by her "angel" and now lives on a large farm in WVA. She shares her home with her human mom and dad, as well as two other Shilohs and two Irish Setters. She has 3 acres of fenced pasture to run and play in with her buddies!

Angel had a rough life, starting out in a large breeding kennel in NY. She came to BelleGrace with badly infected feet. I had offered to take her to get her out of the kennel, and try and heal her wounds. Unfortunately, she also came with a heart murmur, so she was removed from our breeding program. We got her foot issues under control, and then started hunting for the perfect home for her to live out her life. Afterall, Angel deserved that!

Along came a woman, wanting to adopt her. Angel went to live with her, was spayed and started her new life. After a few minor setbacks, Angel has finally settled into a routine and by looking at the picture above, appears quite content. Sleeping on a soft bed definitely suits Angel.

Congratulations Angel, and thank you Avril, for offering your love, patience, and understanding to a dog that so needed her very own "angel".

March update: Angel went to the Reading PA show as a visitor to cheer on the other Shilohs in attendance. Way to go Angel!

Happy Holidays!

BelleGrace's Lil' Bit-O-Honey CGC aka Hannah

2008-12-07T06:47:00.000-08:00

Congratulations Hannah, for showing us how its done! This girl passed her CGC with flying colors and continues to excel in obedience under the direction of her owner, Gloria.
Gloria teaches for one of our local obedience clubs, is active in rescue and rehome, and is Miss Hannah's human companion. Together, they make quite a team!

Hannah is a beautiful combination of her sire, Toran and dam, Honey. Her striking color, intense "shepherd" look, and calm, confident temperament make her a well balanced dog.
Hannah has also passed her hips with an OFA Fair. We are currently searching for a suitable male and anticipate a wonderful litter of puppies, both smooth and plush, in the spring of 2009.

Congratulations, BelleGrace's Blue Timber Wolf!

2008-11-30T17:53:00.000-08:00

We are so very thrilled with one of our puppies. Puppies? He is a 110 lb + puppy, lol. At the age of 17 months, Mr. Wolf has continued to suprise and amaze us. He is a very special boy, being the grandson of our treasured 2xGV Allie. His owners has gone above and beyond, introducing this boy to herding, obedience and agility. So a very big congratulations to Myra, John and Wolf. You have made BelleGrace Shilohs very proud. Please go visit his very own blog and read all about this boy that is close to our hearts!

BelleGrace Rejoicing Alleluia aka Joi

BelleGrace Rejoicing Alleluia aka Joi, pictured above right with her mother, Sera.
Joi is our Allie grand-daughter, and is exceeding our expectations. At the age of nine months. she is already almost as big as her mother. She has her grandma Allie's attitude, strong willed and somewhat stubborn, but also loving life to its fullest. She is a very active, playful pup and loves to play ball or retreive a stick. Started in obedience this spring, we are anticipating another intelligent girl, always trying to out think her handler!

Sera is our Allie daughter, carrying on the Alleluia line. Sera is a fun loving, teasing girl. Her intelligence continues to amaze me everyday. She is a beautiful smooth black/silver dark dual, and moves just like her mother. Although championed pointed in conformation, she hated the showring, so we chose another direction with this girl. She loves obedience and shows great interest in herding.
Sera delivered her first litter for us in July 2007, a litter of 5. From that litter, we selected the red girl, naming her Joi. The legacy continues with BelleGrace Rejoicing Alleluia.

The ONE that started it all! That would be Allie, our very first show dog. Allie was a dream come true, and now lives on in her progeny. Although tragically taken from us at a young age, she left her mark in the Shiloh world, receiving GV status two years in a row. Her stucture and movement was breath-taking to watch in the ring. When she was there, it was all business. At home, she was the very best family companion one could have ever asked for. She will be remembered always and hold a very special part of our hearts.
