My Dogs live here
My dogs live here, they're here to stay. You don't like pets, be on your way. They share my home, my food, my space. This is their home, this is their place.
You will find dog hair on the floor, they will alert You're at the door. They may request a little pat, a simple "no" will settle that.
It gripes me when I hear you say "Just how is it you live this way? They smell, they shed, they're in the way" WHO ASKED YOU? is all that I can say.
They love me more than anyone, my voice is like the rising sun. They merely have to hear me say "C'mon, time to go and play".
Then tails wag and faces grin, they bounce and hop and make a din. They never say "no time for you," they're always there, to GO and DO.
And if I'm sad? They're by my side, and if I'm mad, they circle wide, and if I laugh, they laugh with me, they understand, they always see.
So once again, I say to you come visit me, but know this too.......
My dogs live here, they're here to stay. You don't like pets, be on your way. They share my home, my food, my space. THIS IS THEIR HOME, THIS IS THEIR PLACE.

Facts about our Breeding Program We breed approximately one to three litters of puppies a year. To date we have NEVER bred more litters than two in a year (Spring/Fall). We believe in quality not quantity. All of our Shiloh's are registered with "The Shiloh Shepherd Registry" (TSSR). Ridgewood Shiloh Shepherds have been actively involved with the Shiloh Shepherd breed since purchasing our first Shiloh Shepherd "Chewbacca" in 1998. ****DNA testing of parentage is an important part of the Shiloh Shepherd breed. Our Shilohs not only had DNA on file with Stormont Laboratories, but they have new DNA on file with UC Davis Laboratories, in California. Ridgewood believes that DNA testing should be continued and encourages all Shiloh Shepherd breeders and Registries to continue this program. ****OFA HEART CERTIFICATION: Recently we started to heart certify our Shiloh Shepherds. Heart certification is listed on each dogs page under their statistics. Heart certification for Shiloh Shepherds is a new program and we encourage all Shiloh Shepherd breeders to have their Shilohs examined by a canine Cardiologist. ****HIP X-RAYS: All of our breeding Shiloh Shepherds have been hip x-rayed. We believe that breeding good to better hips will eventually help to reduce the incidence of hip dysplasia in this breed. We do some OFA x-rays, but prefer Penn Hip x-rays. Penn Hip results are listed under each dog, and we always supply a copy of these results to any potential puppy buyer for their records. Unfortunately, an occasional case of hip dysplasia will show up even with all that we do to breed certified Shilohs. We guarantee our puppies hips and health. ****OTHER HEALTH TESTING: We have started to do elbows, thyroid, TLI and eye certification on our upcoming breeding Shiloh Shepherds. Test results are listed under each dogs statistics. If you have any questions as to the type of testing we do on our dogs, please contact us: 610-378-1899
