London and his progeny have made substantial contributions to the Shiloh Shepherd breed. One of London's daughters, NS Ch Windsong's Dance of the Bitasweet, ROM ("Bita") is shown at right. Like her sire, she too is a gorgeous and huge champion.

London's brown sable coloring and smooth coat are not always passed on to his progeny, but his progeny are always beautiful!
Yet another very special daughter of London's is Sylvie. In addition to being a beloved family member, Sylvie may be the longest-lived Shiloh ever. She recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge, just three months short of her 15th birthday.
Three generations of London's family are shown at the right.

Please help us welcome the new generation of London's progeny born through the miracle of frozen sperm. At right is his first-born puppy sired by frozen sperm, Evergreens Chocolat Sucre of CJ. Her call name is "Chocolat" in tribute to the rare brown sable coloring and the coat she inherited from her sire.
Chocolat was born on February 28, 2011. She has brought joy and hope by once again continuing London's line forward, but in a new day and age.

Photo at right: Chocolat at 41 days. We predict she'll have great size . . . just like her dad!
We're happy to report that the puppies are happy, healthy, and huge! Some have plush coats and some have smooth coats. Like their dad, those with smooth coats have longer, softer coats; not short and coarse.

Appearance. At right is London's son, "Timber" (London's Olympic Heartwood of CJ) at one year. His human family is pleased with how strongly he resembles his dad!
Intelligence and Heroism. In her book, the breed founder refers to London as "the brain." Although Timber's family is pleased that he looks like his sire, they're even more pleased that he's displaying wonderful characteristics of old-line Shilohs, such as an intuitive intelligence. For example, at the age of 11 months Timber was a "hero"! Late one night he insistently led his owners to the back of their basement where their water heater was spraying hot water onto a nearby electrical panel. The electrical panel was soaked and the leak had created a 30 sq ft puddle of water. Thanks to Timber's innate intelligence and heroic actions, a potential danger and much damage was averted.
Beauty, Conformation and Movement. London's son, "Fog" (Smokey Valley's London Fog of CJ's) has already won major show titles before his first birthday! Everywhere he goes, he amazes and impresses those who see him. He brings the special strengths and qualities of the old-line Shilohs back to the show ring.
