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 four special shilohs, Lexi, Odin,Freya
and Tiegan.
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. In 2008 Freya and Tiegan from our first breeding also became our pack members.
That's us!
This is our home.
Our Marleau and eight week old Bella.
