My name is Becky. I live in NE Wi, with my husband of 9 years and our two Shep mixes SammyJo 11 and Bandit 4...3 cats Petey, Ladybug, and Peaches. We live on a farm, so there is tons of space for these kids to run around and play.

I found K9Academy from a link on Facebook...off of one of my friends pages. Did some looking around and seems like everyone here is very nice.

Hi Becky!
welcome aboard!
Greetings frmo Seattle!

yep, im a mean mom. i make them pose all the time for me. they secretly like it

OMG, they're gorgous!!!!

Wow your dogs ARE beautiful! They look a little like Shiloh Shepherds though

when I first got SammyJo (the lighter one) I wanted to try to figure out what she was mixed with, so I went thru tons of dog magazines. When I came across a pic of Shiloh Shep, I was floored. It could have been her twin...but the one in the pic was bigger. One of my friends who was a trainer, but showed dogs too kept telling me I should register her as a long hair Shep. I did not feel the need to have a paper telling me what she is, besides..we were not breeding her, so why should she need to be registered? lol I personally think she is Shep/Husky...her personality traits are Huskyish and she is a big talker and woo woo woo-er.

Bandit we are not so sure about. I have never though Shiloh for him..but now that you say that.. I can see it too. I have had people guess Rottie mix ((what??)) Im sure just because of his coloring. I have had people tell me they think he is Collie mix...Golden mix ((again, what??)) ...Shep mix...we dont know for sure. I personally think that there is some Husky or Mal in there as he is very thick boned..very thick dense undercoat..very stubborn..and very sweet. Aussie mix has also crossed my mind, because of his build.

We will never know for sure, and that does not bother me in the slightest. I love mix breeds and will always have them. The same as my sister loves her Goldens and will always have them

Welcome to the forum! Very beautiful dogs!

LOL, not sure where they get Rottie from! Yea, now that you mention it Shiloh's are pretty big, so maybe your right, husky/gsd seems to fit! There's also the King shepherd (dunno if its recognized anywhere though), but thats another big breed.

I'm with you all the way about loving mix breed, my Junior all I know is that he's part Chow but I have no idea what else he could be but I love him just the same and I like that he's one of a kind

Well hope you stick around, you and your lovely pooches would make a great addition to the forum!

How did I miss this post?? (Oh wait...I know how...this crazy pup we brought into our family)...seriously though, sorry....your dogs are lovely and I'm glad to see you here.
