About Us...

Shiloh's of Kai-Lyn is located in the quaint village of Hillsburgh, Ontario, about 1 hour north-west of Toronto. We reside on an 11 acre property, and have been deeply involved in the Shiloh Shepherd world since 2000. We dove in head first, to the degree of shooting and producing a series of videos on the breed under the guidance of the breed's founder, Tina Barber.

Our first Shiloh, Sarge, came from the founder's kennel, New Zion Shiloh Shepherds, and is ISSR registered. But when it came time to search for our second addition, we opted to purchase outside of the breed founder's organization.

Our search resulted in us finding our second Shiloh, Carter, from Mt. Airy Shilohs. Carter is an exceptionally large boned boy with an incredibly gentle nature. He has passed all his health testing and is the proud sire of many beautiful from puppies out of Makeeda from Raid the Wind Kennels, Phenix from Tantara Shilohs, Trinity from Genesis Shilohs, and Pepper from Semper-Fi Shilohs.

Our third addition, Cadie, is from a wonderful breeder in Canada, Kellisa Shiloh Shepherds. Cadie's pedigree is directly related to one of the four foundation bitches used to create the Shiloh Shepherd, Super Sweet Sabrina Selah. We feel very honored to have her entrusted to us, as her pedigree is very valuable in maintaining specific characteristics so beloved in this breed.

Our fourth addition is our own Carter-daughter, Poppy! Poppy was born in May 2007 out of Raid the Wind Mountain Makeeda, bred by Wendy Fullerton. At only 4 months of age, Poppy took 2 "Best in Show Puppy" wins, and impressed the judges with her beautiful structure and effortless movement. Poppy is maturing beautifully, and is now an International Champion! She's OFA certified with EXCELLENT hips, NORMAL elbows, and NORMAL heart via Color Doppler. Poppy gave birth to her first litter in the fall of 2009. Stay tuned to our Puppy News page for our upcoming litters.

Our fifth addition is from the Carter/Trinity litter of May 2008, born at Genesis Shilohs in Ontario, bred by Michelle Bowler. We named this beautiful baby girl "Ruby" because she's such a gem. She's got her daddy's temperament, super calm, very sweet and confident. However there's something about her very reminiscent of our first Shiloh, Sarge. Ruby has attained her Canadian Championship in only two weekends! She stands 28", is super athletic, and she possesses that unique Shiloh Shepherd intelligence in spades!

Our sixth addition is from the Carter/Pepper litter of December 2008, born at Semper Fi Shiloh in North Carolina, bred by Barb and Doug Kirtley. It took us a while to come up with a name for her, but given our red theme and in honor of Peter's mother we settled on "China Sun". China reminded us a whole lot of Poppy when she was a babe, however she's morphed into the spitting image of Carter! We're seeing magnificent color, great bone and movement, a bold and outgoing personality mixed with the sweetness we'd expect out of Carter and Pepper! China will be very busy on the show circuit this summer!

Our seventh addition is "Holly" out of our own Poppy, sired by Shadowgate's Chain (Vision's Chain of Command). Holly is our first "smooth coated" Shiloh Shepherd, an absolutely striking bi-black and tan. She was such a special puppy in this litter that we just had to keep her for our own. Holly started her show career with a bang, winning Best of Breed puppy at the Toronto Sportsmen's Show, Spring 2010. Look for her at the shows this summer!

It is our opinion that while there are breeders with good intensions in every registry, we are far more impressed by the dogs and satisfied with the health testing being done by the breeders of the TSSR and NSBR registries. We are strong advocates of health testing, and firmly believe that no dog should be bred that hasn't passed an adult OFA or OVC Hip and Elbow certification. Our dogs will only be bred if they have good or better OFA or OVC hips and elbows, Cardiac and Thyroid testing. As the Shiloh Shepherd is still a very young breed of dog, we feel the benefit of these tests to the future welfare of the breed is paramount.

We are proud members of the ISSDC, the International Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club. If you are interested in joining our Shiloh Shepherd online discussions, please join our "Shilohs" Yahoo Group. If you are interested in learning more about our dogs, please Contact Us.

Thank you, and best wishes!
Virginia, Peter, Sarge, Carter, Cadie, Poppy, Ruby, China, Holly and Powder (the cat).
