About Carter - Int'l CH, bCanCH Kai-Lyn's Carter
of Mt. Airy, HCT, TT, CGC
Born
February 3rd, 2005, Carter made the flight from Maryland to Ontario
at 12 weeks of age. His breeder is Nancy Dietz of Mt.
Airy Shiloh Shepherds, and he is TSSR registered.
Carter's sire is PB&T’s New Beginnings
Sierra (aka Noah) and his dam is GV
NS arbCh Catoctin’s Shining Star CGC,TDI (aka Shy).
Carter is an NB2, 2nd generation
Boz outcross. Carter is a brown sable, plush coat. His litter consisted of
both smooth and plush coats, from varying shades of sable to
black bi-colors. Sire "Noah" has produced awesome
offspring with the ladies he's been paired with, and his progeny health results are exemplary to date.
Carter is a very heavily
boned boy, who at 3 years of age is 29.5 inches tall, weighing 122 lbs. He's still growing! His
head is very substantial, perfectly shaped ears, lovely wide forehead, and
wonderful dark pigment. His coat is very
thick, very huggalbe, with tons of undercoat.
Carter has lots of developing yet to do and we anticipate him to reach 30 inches
and likely 130 lbs. by the time he's matured, 4 years of age.

At just eight months old, Carter
passed his Herding Instinct test, impressing the tester with his
drive, enthusiasm and gentle nature toward the five sheep. Carter earned his Breed Championship in 2007, and his International and Canadian Championships in 2008.
Don't let this masculine, tough looking boy fool you! Carter's strongest attribute is his sensible and accepting temperament. He is gentle and friendly with
kids, adults, seniors, strangers and other animals...the perfect temperament for Therapy work. He is very affectionate and prefers to
sit 'on' you, rather than simply 'beside' you! You simply couldn't ask for a better breed
ambassador at any public event. Whether he's crawled over, poked at, hugged
or patted by young or old, Carter takes it all in stride. He shows a particular
affinity for children and puppies, no matter WHAT they do to
him!
Carter now qualifies as
a stud dog having passed
his OFA Hips (scored "Good"), OFA Heart, OFA Thyroid, and CERF (eye) tests, plus his OVC Hip and Elbow evaluations. He's passed his adult Temperament Test with gunfire with a score
of 95, and his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test as well.
We are so blessed to share our lives with such an exceptional boy. Everyone who meets Carter falls in love. He's a lion of a dog with the gentleness of a lamb.
