More Awards!

Wish we would have taken the trip to New York this year for the annual Shiloh Homecoming. My pups Shilo, Molly and Chopin were there.

I was awarded another National Select this year! That means I'm one of the top ten Shiloh champions!
Even more exciting than that was my son, Shilo's accomplishments...
He was the plush puppy of the year and the Grand Victor!
In the Shiloh world, you're considered an adult when you're 12 months old. Shilo became an adult in February. He won enough puppy points from July 2012 to February 2013 to become the top puppy. From February to August he won enough points as an adult to be the Grand Victor. That's the most prestigious title awarded, the top winning dog of the year! Way to go Shilo!

IABCA Show St. Louis MO... Best in Show!

IABCA Oklahoma City Show...Shilo visits from New York.

Shilo's parents brought him to the IABCA show in Oklahoma City. I was so excited to get to see him again! Here's a pic of me & Shilo after the show.

I won Best of Show in only one show & Shilo won the other three shows.  As a proud dad, I was very happy to see him winning!

Proud Dad...

This year I had the opportunity to see a few of my puppies & I'm very proud of them!
At the CSSC Specialty Show in Norman, OK I was so happy to see Davey, Shilo, Ponzu, Molly, Ranger, Smokey & Phin.  Here's some pics of my wonderful puppies...

Just a quick brag moment...
I love playing with Brandy's puppies! They'll soon be 8 weeks old and going to their new homes so thought I'd better get some pics of us together. Some of the puppies have their mom's beautiful expression & color, BUT some of them look a lot like me! I jump the fence every morning ( like a gazelle they say) to play with the puppies. I'm proud of my little pupsters.
Jan (Batman's mom) brought her two grandchildren over for a playday. Here we are having lots of fun...

Wow, already 2013!  I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to share the 2012 news!
I was just turning a year old the last time I was on here and so much has happened since then.
Here's a quick review of 2012...

To start the year, I fell in love twice. Katie & BJ were my two special ladies. In February, something unbelievable happened! Katie & BJ had puppies on the same day! At first I didn't know what to think about all those puppies, but it didn't take me long to become a loving dad. Here's some pictures of the puppies:

                                                              BJ with 9 puppies

                                                            Katie with 3 puppies


                                                  
                                                          Here they are all together...

I tried to help BJ & Katie. I played with the puppies & every morning when it was time for the puppies to go to the puppy yard, I would trot in front & lead the way. Here's some pics of me & the puppies:

There's lots more pictures of my puppies on this page: http://www.riverwindshilohs.com/15.html

Early Summer...

A very pretty girl named Brandy came to our house for a visit. I think she's staying till she finds her forever home. Here's a pic of Brandy. I hope she stays a long time.

We went to the IABCA  Purina Farms Summer Seiger 2012 in St. Louis, MO.  On the way, we stopped by Dante's house. Dante is a puppy from Junebug & Kola. He's so big now!
I also met Sophie (Junebug & Kola's daughter) at the show. She was so sweet! I was SO happy to meet my daughter, Clara.  She's still just a pup with lots of energy & a zest for life. She sure is cute & did very well at her first show. Also, met this cool dog names Sunny. He was a nice guy. Hope I get to see him again one day. Along with being best of breed, I also won Reserve Best in Show Rare Breed!   IABCA Purina Farms Summer Seiger 2012

My beautiful 4 month old daughter, Clara.  I'm very proud of Clara. She's so sweet & loves everybody. She took Best of Breed puppy in 2 shows & 2nd in group.

I'm in love with Junebug! I think I'm going to be a dad again, maybe in August.

August...

We wanted to go to Homecoming in New York, but since Junebug's pregnant we decided to stay home. This is the year we should have been there. I earned the title of National Select for winning so many shows!
That's me in the lower right hand corner!
Look who's in the middle! BJ was awarded the title of Grand Victrix! That's the top female Shiloh!

IABCA show at Purina Farms... IABCA Purina Farms --St. Louis, MO
                                                                 More IABCA pics

I won 3 best of breed awards & Reserve Best in Show, but the best thing is that I got to meet my son, Shiloh! I'm so proud of him! He's 9 months old & looks like both Katie & me. Look at our coloration & markings...we look just alike! His mom & dad brought him all the way from New York to meet me. He won his ISSR puppy championship at this show. I thought he did a wonderful job showing, especially since it was his first time to show.

                                    My beautiful daughter with BJ, Clara, was also there.
                                     I think she looks a lot like me too! (9 months old)
