Meet Shiloh

[ASammy1]

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!

Oh!!!! The herding dogs are just the best!! Shiloh looks as if he's just chocked full of personality! Those eyes are so bright. What a handsome dog!! Those ear could be Aussie ears - just not very well bred Aussie ears - prick ears are a "fault" for show, but oh so cute for the rest of us. Whatever he is - enjoy him!! He'll make a wonderful companion.

I have an Aussie (obviously, I guess), and he's just a joy. Smart, but sweet. Wanting to please me and be near me (yeah, total velcro). Will occasionally try to herd me to the refrigerator when he thinks it's dinner time (and no, I don't reward that behavior with dinner), but over all just the best dog.

He points. At squirrels and at birds. Well, his tail doesn't point, but his front foot lifts up and he focuses like crazy. And all those spots! So maybe he's part pointer. Whatever, he's alot of fun and good company.

What a great looking dog. Such an adorable face.

Chloe tends to pull on her leash when she sees a squirrel or the resident woodchuck. She wants at 'em so badly.

I hope you and Shiloh have many happy years together.
