Jax at Three Years!

Mark and Ruth sent us some new shots of Jax the other day. As Mark put it, "It's hot out, so you aren't going to see a photo without a LOT of tongue in it!"

Though Jax was our smallest puppy, he has grown up to be huge, over 110 lbs like his brother Saber. Jax is a brown sable plush whose coloring is a lot like his mom Kyrie, only in a long coat! He loves to sit in front of his floor fan to beat the heat, and takes pack walks with his family every morning (including "sisters" Cassie and Trixie). He adores his blue ball toy. Jax's ears did not want to go up on their own but his family loves his goofy, lovable "look" and decided not to brace them. :) In temperament he is very much a soft-hearted goofball like his dad, Leo.

We hope you enjoy these photos of lovable laid-back Jax! Thanks for reading!

Saber at Three Years!

I've recently gotten new photos of the Kyrie/Leo pups so it's time for an update!!

Here is Saber at three years. His color (in case you would like a Saber of your own some day!) is called "bi-black and tan". Saber is a plush Shiloh who weighs over 110 lbs and in great shape--he goes running with his human dad! He is a very athletic Shiloh who loves to play with "his" kids and leaps to catch his toy. His dad says that Saber is a wonderful family member and they couldn't ask for better. :)

We hope that you enjoy these photos of Saber!

Thanks for checking out our blog! Check back for updates on Jax and Astra!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kyrie/Leo Pups!

Today our Kyrie/Leo litter turns three years old! All are happy and healthy and doing great with their families. I thought I would post a photo retrospective in their honor. :) Enjoy!

Thanks for reading! Happy birthday, puppies, from momma Kyrie and daddy Leo!

Congrats to Astra!

A few months back we puppy-sat Astra for her people and shot a couple new photos! We thought you would enjoy seeing them. :)

These shots taken on a cloudy day show her beautiful buff markings.

Astra loves to play with her Momma Kyrie!

Astra also has big news! She successfully completed all of her health and temperament testing and we will be applying for her to officially enter the breeding program! We're very excited because it means Sparta Shilohs may have Astra puppies in 2014. Stay tuned for more news on that, or you can go to our website at www.spartashilohs.com and keep an eye on the "Puppies" page!

Thanks for reading, everyone! We hope you enjoyed the photos!
