Happy sixth birthday to all of the Kyrie/Leo pups! We can't believe it's been six years. We visited Jax back in February and snapped this photo. He still remembers me even though we hadn't been down to visit for a couple of years! He's still a sweetheart like his daddy Leo. :) </p>
<p>Saber's owner Jeff sent me a photo taken this winter. Thanks Jeff! Saber is doing great and is every bit as handsome as we remember him. :) </P>

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!" <P>

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. <P>

I've recently gotten new photos of the Kyrie/Leo pups so it's time for an update!! <P>
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. :) <P>
We hope that you enjoy these photos of Saber! <P>

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

<P>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 <a href="http://www.spartashilohs.com">www.spartashilohs.com</a> and keep an eye on the "Puppies" page! <P>

It's been a while since we updated, but Jarrad and Kristin got an awesome shot of Astra on her two-years birthday, wearing her party hat, above. :) With a photo like that, we realized that we really owed Astra an update! Especially since she may be joining the Sparta Shilohs breeding program later this year. <P>
Below, a very nice shot of Astra with her human mom Kristin. :) <P>

This past weekend, Jarrad and Kristin went on a rock-climb and hike with friends, and Astra got to go along! Here's Astra looking up at her mom, sitting next to Jarrad and friend Jill. Don't fall, mom! <P>

<p>
Well, I was informed that Jax was very disappointed that I didn't have his update up on time, so I figured I'd better hop to it! Mark and Ruth got me the photos right at a year; it was my tardiness that delayed everything. Without further ado, here is Kyrie/Leo's Jax at one year! <p>
These photos are a combination of ones taken of Jax at his home and at a Sparta Shilohs play-date we had back in April. Leo, Jax, and Astra had a great time playing; momma Kyrie, sadly, was in heat, and could not attend. :) Here is one of Jax and Leo saying hello after not having seen each other for six months. Yes, Jax really is that big!<p>

Earlier this month I took a road trip out to Arizona! Mostly I was visiting my mom for her birthday, but our Kyrie/Leo pup Saber (previously Andros) lives out in Scottsdale, and I got to visit him! Thank you so much to Jeff and Abigail, Corinne and Zach for showing me what an awesome dog Saber has turned into and for letting me take so many photos of you with him!<p>

Saber LOVES his family, especially his kids! Pretty much we all went out in the back yard and they all ran around while I took shots. I thought I would share some of them here with you. :) Below, you can see that Saber is very focused on a game of catch the rope!

Astra is turning into a lovely young lady, so the other day her owners and I took her out to a scenic spot near us for a photo shoot! Below are the photos. Thanks so much for looking and hope you enjoy them!

We visited Jax in October and I've only just now managed to get the photos up. Here's Jax at six months! He has darkened in color quite a bit (fitting, since he was born almost black!) and we love his markings!

Above is a size comparison. Cassie, the golden sable smooth, is from Strauss Haus's Jessie/Siri breedings, and she is a very tall Shiloh girl!

Jax is very alert and loves to play ball! His ears have not gone up, but his owners decided not to try to brace them. They told me they love him the way he is. :)

We hope you've enjoyed our little Jax gallery! He has definitely filled out a bit, too, and is getting stockier like his dad. We can't wait to see him at a year old!

They've given us permission to post their photos of Saber (previously Andros) on the blog. Many thanks to Jeff and his family for giving our super-friendly boy a fantastic home! <p>
Here is Saber with one of his new owners, Abigail! They tell us she keeps him on his toes. ;)

Some of our friends said he looked most like his dad, but I see a lot of Kyrie in his markings. However, I am betting he will end up looking a lot like a plush version of his grandma, Holly, Leo's mom.

Though I hear that some based on the Three Stooges have been suggested...and firmly turned down!<br /><br />I will likely bug our puppy people for new photos around four or six months, and if I can get some I will post them on here. :)<br /><br />Thank you everyone for following our great journey! It has been a lot of work, but very rewarding. We will enjoy our "time off" but we honestly can't wait 'till our next litter. :) <br /><br />We'll close with a pic I just took of daddy Leo.

Too busy trying to score and write down all my notes on the sheets!<br /><br />Astra: Low-drive with an independent streak! Takes longer to bond, and will need lots of socialization with her new family (they live on campus, and she has already met over twenty new people, two cats, and three friendly Beagles in her first three days...I think they are rising to the challenge!). Very submissive (scored ten out of ten) and would have been a Soft temperament...if not for that stubborn streak, which I am pretty sure she got from her mom! ;) High pain tolerance. Could care about loud noises--turned around during that phase of the test and cocked her head at the tester! I had hoped that she might make a good service dog prospect for her new owner, who has some spinal/stability issues, and she is already starting to try to retrieve things for him. Go go Astra!<br /><br />Andros: Very happy, people-oriented puppy! Loves to please, though is a little noise-sensitive and will need desensitization to loud stuff. He would have tested out as a harder temperament (high pain tolerance and lower submission) but is so very oriented on his people and doing things with them that Lisa graded him a Medium instead of Medium-Hard. He is a little uneasy in strange environments and a lot of socialization would be excellent for him--though given his propensity to go everywhere with his family, that shouldn't be hard!<br /><br />Ajax: Equally happy with his people or off exploring, this pup is more submissive (eight out of ten) but doesn't forgive as easily. He also has a high pain tolerance. He has the most drive of all the pups--he loves to attack feet and toes, and to tug on clothes! His new people will need to set some boundaries, but he is a loving pup who adores attention, so that should make things a little easier. He startled at the loud noise but recovered quickly! He tested as a Medium temperament. :)<br /><br />Hope y'all enjoyed the update!

I have a LOT of photos to put up so we'll cut right to the chase. :) <br /><br />Ajax is our people-loving Mr. Personality boy! He loves to play and to interact with his humans. :) He has stayed very dark for a sable, retaining a large, broad streak of black on his back and also on his belly, with black stripes going down his legs. We think he will either be a very dark brown sable like Kyrie or a black sable with tan when he grows up. :) Here's Ajax at five weeks:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HMfla7m_Nvg/Tc8v03FVWdI/AAAAAAAABps/Sz5N6A6udp0/s1600/Ajax1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HMfla7m_Nvg/Tc8v03FVWdI/AAAAAAAABps/Sz5N6A6udp0/s400/Ajax1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752646285580754" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_vbJSuQoE4s/Tc8vxCjwxkI/AAAAAAAABpk/MCAp5cv-m4g/s1600/Ajax2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_vbJSuQoE4s/Tc8vxCjwxkI/AAAAAAAABpk/MCAp5cv-m4g/s400/Ajax2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752580646520386" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VQQVViplC6o/Tc8vxL5MXKI/AAAAAAAABpc/bT0gtURy6Vo/s1600/Ajax3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 352px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VQQVViplC6o/Tc8vxL5MXKI/AAAAAAAABpc/bT0gtURy6Vo/s400/Ajax3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752583152327842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mUMt0GzZMEc/Tc8vw-PflrI/AAAAAAAABpU/_shPMjsN2XA/s1600/Ajax_adorable.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 396px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mUMt0GzZMEc/Tc8vw-PflrI/AAAAAAAABpU/_shPMjsN2XA/s400/Ajax_adorable.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752579487766194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Id0a35pvUBY/Tc8vw1ZIYsI/AAAAAAAABpM/ZyolmjoZYvY/s1600/AjaxNMom.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 372px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Id0a35pvUBY/Tc8vw1ZIYsI/AAAAAAAABpM/ZyolmjoZYvY/s400/AjaxNMom.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752577112269506" /></a><br />Andros is living up to his warrior name! He loves to play-fight with his brother and sister. He has stayed very dark and we are thinking he may be a true bi-black and tan! If not he will certainly be a very dark dual black and tan. He is also a very people-focused pup, and he is our "howler" as you can see from the following photo! Enjoy your dose of Andros at five weeks. :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qab3Ce3UZZ8/Tc8vw-lmSTI/AAAAAAAABpE/q8esxQC2om4/s1600/Andros_arooo.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 366px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qab3Ce3UZZ8/Tc8vw-lmSTI/AAAAAAAABpE/q8esxQC2om4/s400/Andros_arooo.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752579580479794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_qetCok7pn4/Tc8voDqclZI/AAAAAAAABo8/3dXD3d8JfY8/s1600/Andros_attentive.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 363px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_qetCok7pn4/Tc8voDqclZI/AAAAAAAABo8/3dXD3d8JfY8/s400/Andros_attentive.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752426324170130" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wbas39fk9X0/Tc8vnwhi4gI/AAAAAAAABo0/q-oOMooq44g/s1600/Andros_crybaby.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 372px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wbas39fk9X0/Tc8vnwhi4gI/AAAAAAAABo0/q-oOMooq44g/s400/Andros_crybaby.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752421186560514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-caIZXAewK-Q/Tc8vnVwavaI/AAAAAAAABos/ntvDhRI3B_U/s1600/Andros_face_5wks.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 395px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-caIZXAewK-Q/Tc8vnVwavaI/AAAAAAAABos/ntvDhRI3B_U/s400/Andros_face_5wks.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752414001184162" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n8lws-C1wkc/Tc8vnbOT2CI/AAAAAAAABok/rqCGHebTQus/s1600/Andros_yawn.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 338px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n8lws-C1wkc/Tc8vnbOT2CI/AAAAAAAABok/rqCGHebTQus/s400/Andros_yawn.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606752415468738594" /></a><br />Astra is still our sweet, calm, quiet girl.
