We are located in the historic Olde Towne section of  
Portsmouth, Virginia.  We share our home and hearts with our
Shiloh Shepherds -
Breeze, Midas & Odyssey  and our Giant
Malamute -
Alosia.  Our dogs  live indoors with us as members
of our family - they are never kenneled.

As trusted guardians and contributors to the future of these
phenomenal giant breeds, we take our roles seriously.  We are
dedicated to raising healthy, well-socialized, balanced and
happy dogs that enjoy a variety of activities and reflect the
attributes that initially attracted us to these two distinct breeds
-- incredible intelligence, beautiful conformation, devotion,
stable temperament, size, and wonderful health.  

We conduct and support health testing, and we believe in
providing transparency of results to fellow breeders and any
future puppy families.  We proudly display our
Health &
Pedigree information.
The Shiloh Shepherd  is a rare and unique breed -- a loyal,
loving family member, protector, guardian and friend.  Shilohs
are known for their incredible intelligence, very large size,
wholesome beauty, and versatility.  

There are many wonderful Shiloh breed ambassadors involved
in search & rescue, therapy work, agility,
conformation showing,
herding, obedience and many more activities.  With the
combination of giant size coupled with their uncanny
intelligence
-- foundation dogs include German Shepherd Dogs,
American Shepherds, White Shepherds and Giant Malamute
--  
they require exercise, mental stimulation and a purpose in life.

come back and see us soon.

A dog is the only thing on
earth that loves you more
than he loves himself

Josh Turner
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

an excerpt from"Kubla Khan; or,
"A Vision in a Dream: A Fragment"
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Alosia, 10 months
Wakon's Alosia Morning Star of Xanadu
is the newest addition to Xanadu.  She was born in March
2009 and is from Wakon Giant Alaskan Malamutes.  March 2009
and is from Wakon Giant Alaskan Alosia is an AKC registered,
pure-bred descendant of the M'loot Malamute that lived with
the ancient Inuit peoples in the high Arctic hundreds of years
ago.

"Malamutes were bred to pull the biggest loads over the farthest
distance. The Eskimos learned it was better to have one huge
dog that could do the work of 3 smaller ones. It was this
knowledge that led the Eskimos to practice some of the best
breeding practices on earth. They needed such a huge dog to
survive and they practiced the best selective breeding program
of any place on earth. If the dog did not have the perfect, ideal
coat, legs, feet, body, and temperament, he could not survive
such a harsh environment.

We are honored to welcome Alosia to Xanadu and look
forward to spending many active, healthy years with her.  
Check back often for updates on this gorgeous and
intelligent girl.
