Solace Shilohs

Welcome to Solace Shilohs. We raise Shiloh Shepherds in our home in Bothell, Washington. We live in a rural residential neighborhood about 30 minutes north of Seattle. Our dogs are family raised and loved and an integral part of our family. Have you ever met a Shiloh Shepherd in person before? They are a lot like the German Shepherds of days gone by - like Rin Tin Tin. They have the intelligence of GSDs, but are more soft in temperament and are larger in size, in both height and bone. They are gentle giants, that can intimidate an intruder that is unwelcome, while being incredibly careful and caring around a newborn. I have ten of these dogs that I raise around my four year old son and they treat him with the same respect they give me. Shilohs tend to respect that which is important to you and therefore they are very easy to train. They have an intrinsic desire for you to be pleased with them and there is an intuitive quality about them. I always tell my puppy people to be a strong leader and set your expectations very high for your Shiloh and your Shiloh will meet or exceed your expectations. These dogs love to think and be connected with you and your family and model themselves after their owners.

My Shilohs are registered with The International Shiloh Shepherd Registry (ISSR), which upholds the strict breeding standards, set forth by the Breed Founder; Shilohs with good health, strong hips, stable and predicable temperaments; dogs that make wonderful family companions. As ISSR breeders, we must continually study and strive to better the development of our breed and help teach others about these wonderful dogs. I am available for mentorship and also offer apprenticeships to people wishing to become breeders of this magnificant and noble breed. Only ISSR Shilohs are the real and original Shiloh Shepherds.

I always sleep in the same room as my pregnant bitches when they are close to whelping and up to two weeks after the litters are on the ground. I watch and care for my litters very closely and carefully. My puppies get a lot of attention and handling from day one to the eight weeks, when the litter evaluations are conducted. My puppies tend to be very affectionate and bond easily with their new families.

Deposits or prepayment are taken at any point in time, for upcoming litters. Prepayment secures your place on a list. Please visit my Puppy Info and Prices page to learn more. Also feel free to contact me with regards to my breeding program and my Shilohs. If you would like to know if you would make a good owner for a Shiloh or if a Shiloh would be right for you and your family, please call me and lets talk. If you think you are ready for a Shiloh, you can downlaod and fill out a Puppy Pre-Adoption application with the specifications for your Shiloh and send it in with a deposit or prepayment. If you wish, you can use Paypal, but you will need to add three percent to the amount you are paying. I also accept personal checks and money orders or wire transfers, with no additional charge. Deposits are non-refundable should you change your mind, but you can take up to three years to apply it to an upcoming litter. All puppies come microchipped, with their first set of shots and wormings.
