I was totally devastated when we lost our Cheyenne, GSD almost 3 years ago. A week later I was on the phone trying to find a Shiloh Shepard puppy. After a few calls I finally found a breeder who had puppys, but I had to wait about 4 weeks. We spent over an hour on the phone that night. Anyway I agreed to wait. I never heard of contracts before & I was shocked when I got the 4 page contract, everything in the contract was what I would have lived by anyway. Mostly about the care of the puppy/dog & keeping in touch with her. Then the xrays, heart & tyroid testing that had to be sent to OFA. I was impressed that this woman cared about what happened to this puppy after cash exchanged hands. I was also invited to join the Yahoo group & keep touch with his siblings & meet other Shiloh people. It was absolutely the best experience I had with a puppy. She was always there for us. When I was ready for another puppy, I called her & she helped me find Kiya. We will always keep in touch with Apache's grandma.
