Salish Sea Shilohs is located on the south end of Whidbey Island, a 65 mile long island in the Puget Sound about 40 miles north of Seattle. We are well known members of the ISSDC, the International Shiloh Shepherd Dog Club. We register our litters thru the WSSBA, the Worldwide Shiloh Shepherd Breed Assn based in Nova Scotia and operated by long time breeder Jan DiAngelo. Our 9 dogs (8 shilohs) enjoy a life of fun and adventure on their acres of lawns and forest. They play in the woods, splash in ponds, live as natural an existence free from the dangers of city life as possible. They were raised with gentle care and have become used to canes and people with mobility issues by being exposed to my handicapped sister, who is also very hands on with the babies. Canes are not threats, more often toys! Being part of the community of Shiloh Breeders, the dogs do not often leave the property, are not put at risk of disease or illness at dog parks and rarely at dog shows, where only Arjuna is participating. Several of them go to work daily with my husband in his construction business and the rest stay home with me, since I work from the property, manufacturing for my 45 year old jewelry company, Shadowfax Jewelry/ Bella Terra Silver. The dogs enjoy constant companionship and are never alone. Working from home makes it an ideal situation for the puppies and the big dogs who help raise and love them. They may not have city dog manners, but they get to be happy athletic creatures, beautiful, solid and strong and protective of their land and people.
Freeland is a pastoral community with a small but active shopping area and the island is served by the Washington State Ferry System, it is about 20 minutes from the Clinton/Mukilteo Ferry or the Keystone/Port Townsend ferry. We enjoy world class veterinary care by the beloved Dr Jean Dieden at Animal Hospital By The Sea in downtown Langley just 12 minutes from home, a quick traverse thru the woods. [email protected]
People on our puppy list are welcome to visit pups after 5 weeks of age, as long as they have not been exposed to dog vaccines within 2 weeks, are sick, or work with humans with diseases dogs can acquire, like strep or staph, among others. If you are purchasing a puppy, you may attend the Litter Evaluation Testing, best known as the LER. This is held in our pole barn in Freeland, and conducted by an experienced tester at about 7 weeks of age. Puppies are able to go to their new family homes between 8 and 9 weks old. Each puppy leaves with his own little Go Bag of treats, food they are used to, kibble, bones, toys and one of their little baby blankets that they love from babyhood. Their copies of the contract, their veterinary record and in some cases a health certificate issued by our vet before air shipping or international travel are included. Files are sent by email outlining care and feeding after the initial brochure and application info files and application at first contact.
We have maintained a wait list and it is extremely rare for a puppy to not have been spoken for long before birth. Puppies are subject to 8.7% Washington state sales tax. Any available pups will be posted here on facebook, should their situations change, which does occasionally happen.We have extremely bad cell connection service here in The Hollow, but text protocol works fine, so email: [email protected] with your questions or refer to this page or the website [email protected]" rel="ugc" target="_blank">[email protected]
