Meet Shiloh

He's so cute! I love the collar, too.

My friend and I walk her dogs with "gentle leaders". I highly recommend them.

What a cutie!

Our Tazz was half Aussie, to look at him anyway. He was SCARY smart. Do not let this dog challenge you to chess.

Congradulations! Nala approves!!! She also wants me to remind you to comb Shiloh's ears regularily, otherwise she'll get painful mats behind her ears . Nala has forgiven me for this mishap on my learning curve.

Herding dogs are loads of fun, and like to be kept busy. If you don't spend time with them, they'll find things to do.........

Walks are good. Maybe Shiloh will learn to play frisbee? Nala never did grasp the concept.

I love him!!! Where are you taking obedience classes at? Nigel pulls on the leash too. I'm not sure where in VA you are at, but the dog trainer at Hunt Club Farms (Virginia Beach) has a very good reputation.

Hi,
What a very cute dog. My mum has one that looks like yours. It is a Friese stabij. A Friese stabij is a Dutch dog that is used on farms to hunt for mice. Check this link: http://www.sudewyn.nl/friesestabijfotos.htm
I think yors is a Stabij (of part Stabij), and a cutie ofcourse.

Kind regards from Holland, Carlio

Wow, the markings on one of those Dutch dogs is just like Shiloh's, including the faint white line all the way up the center of his nose! The body type is border collie for sure, but the markings sure look like a Friese stabij.

Thanks!

Wow, tulip - if Shiloh is part boarder collie (that herd) and part Friese stabij (that hunt mice)...bring him to my house! We could totally use a dog like that to help around the farm. We've got one who hunts mice well enough...and another that is sort of getting the herding thing...but one dog to do both would be a joy.

If he ever needs a good workout, you can bring him to Oregon for a visit!
