The Beloved Shiloh saga continues with a very special puppy named Sage. Sage is the son of our Beloved Zoey and a very special young male Shiloh by the name of Noah. Zoey and Noah had 9 puppies in March 2005, one of which is Sage. We had not planned on keeping a pup from Zoey’s 1st litter but Sage spoke to us the minute he was born. We tried to resist his charms but, in the end, we could not resist keeping this boy for ourselves.
Sage has turned out to be a truly amazing young man. At only 2 years of age, he has accomplished so much. He became a Rarities Supreme Grand Champion in only five weekends of showing. He is a certified Pet Therapy Dog and visits with children at Underwood Hospital, Woodbury, NJ. He passed his Temperament Test and Canine Good Citizen Test with flying colors.
Sage has an outstanding temperament. He’s very sweet, incredibly loving, and totally devoted to his family whether human, canine or feline. He loves everyone he meets and other animals also. He is fairly laid back but loves playing Frisbee and is up for anything we want to do. We couldn’t ask for a more wonderful, loving companion and we feel extremely blessed to share our lives with this amazing boy!
Sage has passed all his health testing and is available for stud to approved females. Click to view Sage's Pedigree
