Loxley




Bearpaw's Loxley of Nottingham (juniper)
Our little Juni is growing up to be such a good girl. Loxley lives in NY with Nancy Schmidt at Bearpaw Shilohs. She has wiggled her way into every ones heart and is such a sweetie. She gets to pal around with several other Shiloh and has even taking to having a “Big Shiloh sister”. Loxley and Desi are the best of pals; they are each other’s companions and playmates. Loxley has big plans for the future. Nancy wants her to have a show career and once all of her health testing is complete, Loxley might just pass on her genes to future generations.

Nixon




Keystone's Nixon of Nottingham (dill)
Nixon was the only boy in the litter, and what a big boy he is turning into. At 4 months he was already over 50lbs and if his head is any indication of how big he will be his is going to be massive. Nixon lives in Canada with our friends at Keystone Shilohs. Nixon is Keystone Shilohs second generation. Ember, Nixon’s mom came to us in 2006 from Cher. Cher wanted a laid back boy and she got exactly what she wanted. Nixon loves everyone he meets, from young to old and anyone in between. Nixon is on his way to be a therapy dog and in between he is doing well in the show ring. At the Shiloh National Specialty in New York, Nixon competed against his sister Grace for best puppy in the show. We are so proud of Nixon and look forward to seeing what this amazing boy will accomplish.

Rayvn




Nottingham's Thyme (thyme)
Ravyn is turning into another big girl. She has her dad’s looks and the perfect combination of Ember and Quinn’s personality. She lives in Pennsylvania and shares her home with a cat and a human sister. Ravyn loves her human sister and even goes to check on her at night to make sure she is ok. Her family plans to train her in obedience and possibly some herding. We believe that Ravyn will excel at anything she tries; she is a big puppy that wants to please. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this girl.

Ziva





Nottingham's Diva Ziva (wasabi)
Ziva is a traveler. Her parents drove up from Miami to get her and they couldn’t be happier with her. She lives at home with her lab brother Patton and the two are constantly playing. They are best friends so to speak. Ziva was our last puppy born and for the first couple of weeks was our smallest girl, but not anymore. Ziva is growing, and growing and growing, by the time this girl stops growing she is going to be huge and she has a great personality to go along with her size. Recently her parents moved back to Virginia. We are extremely excited about this move – we can’t wait to visit Ziva and watch her grow.

Bronwyn






Mac's Wee Beastie O'Nottingham (rosemary)
Bronwyn lives in upstate NY with Heather Yates and James Blackman at MacShilohs. She has two Shiloh brothers and despite them being bigger and older, she is definitely the princess of the house. At 12 weeks of age Bronwyn won the prestigious title of IABCAA International Baby Championat. She received extremely high marks in all categories and we couldn’t be prouder of this girl (do you want to show her score sheets?). Her owners have plans to continue showing her and they also want to see what she can do in a herding ring. Bronwyn's mother is an accomplished photographer and a member of the TSSR board. Recently she created a wine label benefiting EPI research; we expect that Bronwyn will be making a big impact on everyone that meets this darling girl.

Delilah







Nottingham's Delilah (saffron)
Delilah now lives with a wonderful family in Round Hill,VA. She lives on a farm with a menagerie of farm animals including sheep, goats and alpacas. Delilah frequently visits Bluemont Vineyard where she is a local celebrity and wants nothing more than to see everyone and to be petted by both young and old. Delilah is starting her career as a working dog and proved that she has what it takes to round up the woolies at a recent herding trial at Keepstone Farm. Take a look at the video of Delilah’s first time in the ring with sheep. She is a natural. We expect many great things from this girl in the future –maybe she will become the highest titled Shiloh in herding, who knows but we will be hoping.

Raven




Raven of Nottingham (mint)

Raven is the apple in her family's eye. She is a constant companion to her human dad and even goes to work with him where she has her own bed and plenty of toys. Raven lives in Pennsylvania and shares her home with 3 children and several kitty brothers and sisters. Raven is the spitting image of Quinn and has the temperament to match. She is a sweet girl that provides her family with hours of entertainmetn and companionship.
