Hi everybody!

Zak is 5 years old now. We are not showing any more and haven't for a few years. Zak never did like being around a lot of strangers, he even hated socializing as a very young dog.  Even though he always minds the "leave it" command and ignores people and other animals while walking on leash, he was VERY protective of his crate and of me while sitting or standing still.
So I made the decision to let him stay home most of the time. He is happiest this way, and he stays more stress free which is better for his Sub-Aortic Stenosis.
I know he's a beautiful Shiloh and I would feel bad if we won at shows that are meant to further our breeding stock. Of course with SAS Zak will never be bred. He will never go under anesthesia for neutering either. It's too dangerous for his heart.
I will upload more pictures soon! He is now starting to hold some weight and looks bigger than ever!
I LOVE this beautiful, wonderful dog that God has placed in my life. He is absolutely my partner of the heart!

STL IABCA show 11/2010

Zak is 13 months old and we drove to STL to participate in the Autumn Sieger in STL last weekend. Pictures to follow!

No Words Needed. The Pictures tell the story.

Zakanne is 12 months old!

My big, baby boy is a year old now! For his birthday he got a New York Strip steak and some new toys. I took some pictures and a few short videos of Zak and Kody in the backyard. Enjoy!

IABCA Show in Hutto, TX, 7/2010

Here's Zak running ME around the ring!


I LOVE his soulful eyes!



That's my pretty boy!

Zakanne won Best of Breed in 2 of 3 shows. He acted up pretty bad, but he's a 9 month old puppy started to feel his "oats" and we'll just keep working with him!

Zakanne gets a cooling vest & a squeaky toy!

I ordered Zak a cooling vest because he's not supposed to overheat. This works great! We bought it for $35.99 from North Coast Pets. There is no difference between the Cool K-9 cooling vest and the Cool K-9II cooling vest except for color and $3 difference.

Turns out there are more water absorbing crystals on one side than the other so it hangs sideways a little, but the company is going to send us a replacement FREE!

Without further ado, here's Zakanne at 8 months old!
