Activities - Showing
We began showing our girl Breeze when she was 14 weeks old. At her
first ARBA show, Kelsey and Breeze received a Best in Show Puppy
and a Reserve Best in Show Puppy. Breeze continues to show and
she is Champion and ARBA pointed.
Midas began showing at 4 months old, and he is Rarities, ARBA and
Breed champion pointed.
We have shown with Rarities, ARBA and NCA. Shows in our area are
'few and far between'. We continue to show as location and schedules
allow. During 2007, conformation shows were put on hold while we
enjoyed our first Xanadu litter.
Ozzy had his debut at the NAKC Battlefield Classic in April 2008. At the
NAKC Fort Mott Classic in July, 2008, Ozzy earned his Jr. Championship
and is well on his way to his breed championship.
We look forward to watching several of our Midas/Breeze puppies
participate in the show ring. (See our shows plans below.)
First and foremost, our Shilohs are family members. We are often
asked if our Shilohs are 'show dogs' due to their majestic beauty. Our
response is that our Shilohs are family members who sometimes show.
