The first three Elvis/Ember babies!
Ember started delivering about noon today! From the looks of the x-ray we're in for a long day but so far mamma and babies are doing great.
We wanted to share the first video of the new babies, two boys and a girl!

Puppies, Puppies, and Hopefully, More Puppies!
The Ember/Elvis breeding has been confirmed and puppies are due the weekend of August 20th.
Little Miss Ember has gained a whopping 10 pounds already and she has several weeks to go. We have recently increased her feeding to 3 times a day and she seems to be loving the extra food! Who can believe it but Ember has become lazy! She just wants to sleep by the air conditioning vent, but who can blame her when it is 100 degrees outside.
Ember is enjoying all the visitors we have been having and of course she expects everyone to rub her belly and so far everyone has very willingly complied:)
We will be doing a puppy count via x-ray on August 13th so we can tell about how many babies she is growing in her belly.
Stay tuned for updates on this very exciting breeding!

Ember's next date!
Nottingham Shilohs is excited to announce the pairing of Keystone’s Scarlet’s Ember, CGC to bCH Glorious Elvis von Europa
Keystone’s Scarlet’s Ember is a beautiful plush golden sable with rich pigmentation. She is a third generation double new blood, with Orbit from Keystones Jasper Jax O’Zion and Artus from Jersey’s Midnight Run ODS Zion. Ember is a happy girl that is big boned, has a gorgeous broad head including a great stop, and exhibits beautiful movement. Ember is the perfect combination of Artus, Orbit and old line Shiloh. She inherits her stamina and heavy bone from the Artus lines, brings size from the Orbit lines and her intelligence and loyal nature from the old Shiloh lines behind her.
bCH Glorious Elvis von Europa is the epitome of what a Shiloh Shepherd should be. He is a dark grey sable plush coated Shiloh with incredible size, bone, a nice big broad head, great pigment and a true Shiloh temperament. He has an impeccable set of old Shiloh lines behind him which include Bo/Jewel and Shep/Trinka. He has already sired some exceptional litters and his offspring continue to showcase his lines. He has reliably passed on his laid back temperament to his offspring. Elvis brings good movement, great temperament, and impressive size as well as a beautiful head and ears to the equation.
These puppies combine pure old Shiloh lines via Elvis with the new blood of both Orbit and Artus via Ember. We anticipate Shilohs with big bone structure, broad heads, height, nice movement and a willingness to please. All puppies will be plush coated and we expect colors of rich golden browns, gray sables and possible duals.
Both parents have had extensive health testing and have passed with above average results.
We are now taking reservations for this awesome litter!

Seeing the babies grow up
On sunday we got the opportunity to see 4 of the Ember/Quinn puppies and all I can say is that I was impressed. These girls are growing like weeds and can we say friendly! It was such a joy to see them and interact with them. As you can see they are looking spectacular and have temperaments to die for. I can't say enough good things about this litter. I am just so proud of all of them.
From left to right we have:Ziva, Delilah, Rayvn, Grace and in front is Daddy Quinn.

new year, new happenings
It sure has been a long time since I have posted on this site. I will try and do better in the coming months. We have chosen Embers next date and will announce it shortly but for the time being just know we think we will have very similar results to our last breeding with quinn. Stay tuned for that exciting news.
Right now we are planning a Shiloh fun day on February 21st at The Dog School of Leesburg. We invite everyone to come out and learn about shilohs, let your shilohs play and help decide what events the Shiloh club will be doing in the coming year. If you would like more details e-mail me.
Nottingham Shilohs will be at Pawsabilities in PA on March 13th and 14th. Willow will continue the tradition of educating the public and letting everyone climb all over her. Please come and visit us at the Shiloh booth. I know there will be several Ember/Quinn puppies there!
We have also discovered the best trainer in the area. She has helped me through several training situations, she is a certified APTD trainer and CGC tester and she has experience working with shepherds! A link to her site will be coming soon.
So that's it for now. Look for more information coming soon...

Herding trial
The herding trial was great! Loxley (juniper) and Delilah (saffron) were there and while Loxley wanted nothing to do with the sheep, Delilah just loved them.
here is a short video of delilah and the sheep.
Hope you enjoy it. I know I did.

Pictures
Here are the 7 week old pictures and some pictures of the puppies trying to escape the ducks. They were supposed to be herding or at least chasing but that didn't happen.

fire the camera man
Addison was trying to take video of the puppies and the ducks but when the puppies started escaping he just let the video camera hang and forgot to turn it off. The video is horrible, but the sound is funny. Don't watch, just listen:)

Dear Diary
Today has been kinda hard on me diary. Mom took all of my babies with her this morning when she left for work. It is so unfair! She hasn't let me nurse them at all today. I got to see them and play some but I haven't nursed them. Maybe mom will let me tonight. I hope so. My babies love me and I love them.
I guess it wasn't all bad with my babies gone. I had some peace and quite and got to spend sometime with my brothers and sisters. I guess that was good.
Mom says she will be taking my babies with her every morning and that I just need to get used to it. She says that it will make them better when they go to their new families. I hope their new families enjoy them as much as I did. I know I will be sad to see them go, but I know they have to.
Cher, Heather and Dr. Amy left. I miss them. Mom says I will see them in 2 weeks but that seems like a long time. Oh well, life goes on and as long as they still bring me my food, everything will be alright.
Mom says she will post new pictures soon.
