Arabella is a beautiful, bi-color, spayed female Shiloh who needs a new home immediately. She is 5 ½ years old and in excellent health. She has passed her OFA hip/elbows and heart certification and also has tested negative for Thyroid and EPI. She is a sweet girl with lots of energy. She is loving and loyal.
I owned her until last year when she was re-homed. She was re-homed after I made the decision to quit breeding. Her new owner is moving and cannot take her along, so she is in dire need of an immediate placement. Since she was re-homed, she has developed some issues. She has become fearful of strangers and of thunderstorms. She has become protective of her space and her people, and she has nipped several people.
I can give you complete details of her issues, which I believe to be a result of her insecurity since her move to Florida. She needs an experienced person with a firm hand, strong and unequivocal leadership, and lots of love to help her make an adjustment to a permanent home. She is currently in Florida. I will help arrange transportation to get her into the right situation. She is crated much of the day right now, so her situation is critical. If you are interested in hearing more about Arabella, please call me or write:

ABBAS ZEENA WARRIOR PRINCESS. Zeena will be 4yrs old on Jan 23rd. She is an Arabella/Toran puppy. Her original owners consisted of a father and a stay at home mom with two small children. She was adopted by a couple 4 months ago, however, with their work schedules it isn't working out. Zeena is used to being around family during the day and now she is left alone while her new owners are working . Some nights they are unable to get home until 10pm.
The perfect home for Zeena would be with a family with a stay at home mom or a couple that one or both people stayed at home during the day. She spent the first 3 3/4 yrs with people around her during the day and she isn't doing well being left alone all day.
I met with the new owners and Zeena this weekend and find her to be very loving and well behaved. She played with Nico, Argus, Dynamo and Bianca and got along well with all of them. Absolutely no dog aggression was observed. I did notice that she did try to pull the alpha female with the younger males and tried to dominate them, but no incidences occurred and all got along great.
Her coloring is similar to my Argus, Black and Gray sable except she is a smooth coat. She just recently was examined by a vet and got a clean bill of health. Various blood test were done and everything came back good. She is current in all her shots,. Her coat is nice and shiny. Last week she weighed 79lbs. She is tall for a female and probably could gain another 15 lbs and still be lean.
I worked with her and she followed my commands for sit, down, stay. She walks on a leash but at times will try to pull. I was able to get her to walk with me without pulling. Like all the dogs I adopt out I recommend that an obedience class be taken with the dog to build a bond between the two of you and so that you become familiar with each other. It's also good to go to class so an instructor can help you if you are having problems.
I found Zeena to be very friendly with both other dogs and humans. She seemed to want to please me and was willing to work with me. Zeena is very smart. If I were still breeding I wouldn't hesitate to consider keeping her.
I think she would excel in agility. She and Argus were running around the yard chasing each other. At one point Argus ran around the swing set but instead of following him Zeena jumped through the swing just as graceful as could be.
