When trying to decide which of these fine boys to take to our Kohl, another breeder suggested to "think outside of the box". Why not a dual-sired litter? With the ability to DNA the pups in a simple manner, it made perfect sense. This breeding brings together all original shiloh lines with a touch of Artus and Orbit.

Kohl is our beautiful black smooth out of the Venus/Kit litter. She has exceptional structure and excellent health data. Her previous litters have produced pups that have exceeded our expectations in size, intelligence and temperament. She is a dog that loves to be loved, just like her dam and is always by your side. But as soon as you say the word, she is ready for whatever you want to do . She is extremely intelligent, much like her sire and is a real problem solver.

Skye is a true giant in the shiloh world. Standing 32" at the shoulder (his shoulders are just a tad higher than a 32" crate), he definitely gets attention anywhere we go. He is a Sampson son, and brings to this breeding many fine old line shilohs. Skye is a big, fun loving goof. "Boys just want to have fun" is his theme! He is confident, willing to please, but assertive if needed. This boy would protect me, no doubt about it! His pups are gorgeous, huge, loving and kind.

Luka is our very handsome Laz grandson. He brings some very important lineage to this breeding. Another big boy, he goes 29.5" at the shoulder and carries a presence about him that will stop someone in their tracks. Its in his eyes: he has a stare that can send chills up your spine. He is a confident boy, a solid medium temperament. But he has a warm, soft and fuzzy side too. He loves to be cuddled and have his ears scratched. He is a little more independent than Skye, and can make decisions on his own; he is one I would trust with my life as he has already saved me once. He is intuitive, intelligent, soulful.

What we are expecting: Giant size is a given! Add to that broad heads, fine structure and intelligence! These pups may be able to out think their humans! We anticipate both smooth and plush coats in sables and solids. There is an excellent chance for whites as both Kohl and Skye carry a white recessive. And we know there is the black recessive behind both Kohl and Luka, so solid black is also possible. We are very excited about this litter! Please contact us for more information and to reserve one of these outstanding pups!
