Roka is my heart dog. She tests me, regularly pushing me outside my comfort zone, while constantly inspiring me to try new things, or learn skills I hadn’t realized I needed. She has been a catalyst of self discovery since the day she decided she was staying. She has an inspiring zest for life, and is always up for an adventure. With incredible biddability, a wicked sharp mind, and maybe a little more working drive than I bargained for - thanks to Fortune, her jaw droopingly handsome Belgian Tervuren father. I honestly wouldn’t trade this incredible girl for anything!
 

Another huge advantage of Roka having recent outcross blood, is that it enables me increased compatibility to some of the best studs in the breed!

And Cato here is just that. With his impressive presence, steady nature, and captivating intelligent eyes it makes him stands out anywhere he goes—he truly turns heads. This solid, bomb-proof boy reflects so many of the incredible qualities I cherish in the Shiloh breed, and I can not wait to see what he brings into my Wilderness program. Cato having been sired from cryogenically semen that had been stored for nearly a decade prior to his conception, means that he carries some of the older foundation lines which helped shape the breed we adore today. Cato offers remarkable confidence, OFA Good hips, substantial bone, and a deep irreplaceable bond with his family. All of which make him a valuable addition to not only my program, but the breed itself.
 

And it is this incredible combination of traits that make me confident he and Róka will produce some truly one of a kind puppies! (Who won’t disappoint if they are anything like their STUNNING half siblings from Roka’s 2024 litter with Riggs.)
 

I am incredibly excited to see what these two special dogs produced. We are expecting all plush coats with a wide range of Sables possible. With the sables having the incredible potential to range from Róka’s bright fiery red coat, all the way to deep black sables, and anything in between!

Roka is due to come into heat within the next month or so. And I am just starting to accept applications for this incredible pairing. But please note that these 2nd generation Foundation line (F2) pups will be a registered part of the ISSA’s Biodiversity project and a strong preference will be given to families who are willing to keep them intact. As they are playing an incredible part in bettering the breed by lowering genetic COIs, decreasing breed specific health risks, and refining/improving various conformation traits.
