We are Claude and Mirjana Venne and we live in beautiful Pembroke ontario, right in the heart
of the Ottawa Valley.
We own a lovely waterfront property right on the Ottawa River, were there is lot's of space and fresh air
for us all to enjoy, and tons of room for our four legged freinds to run to their hearts content. And we share our lives with our
two special shilohs, Lexi and Odin.
Our envolvment with this magnificent breed started many years ago with the adoption of our
GSD rescue, Marleau. Marleau was to be a companion for our older malamute rescue, Kieura. Now Marleau wasn't your typical GSD.
He was very large, heavy boned and square built, with a lovely long coat.
Later with the passing of Kieura, we started looking
for another companion for Marleau. But we wanted another shepherd just like him. To our disappointment, those GSD's just didn't
exist anymore. And thus we came across this phenominal breed, the shiloh shepherd.
In early 2003 we came to know a wonderful breeder
in PEI, Jan Burke, and in early 2004 we headed out to PEI to pick up our new furry bundle, our first shiloh puppy, Bella.
Bella
turned out to be much more then we ever dreamed of. She was a beatiful black and grey sable. She was also a large boned girl, who
at only 11 months weighed 91lbs, and had great movement to boot. But her greatest quality was her supper sweet temperment. We were
hooked!
We were so impressed with our new girl that we knew we just had to share our lives with more of these wonderful dogs.
And that's how it all started.
In June 2005, Lexi joined our family, also from Miracle Shilohs, and in December of 2006, we made
the track to Glorious Kennels in Ohio were eight week old Odin joined the pack.
That's us!
This is our home.
