spiritsmom Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 She actually weighs 80 pounds, not 90, and had some "liposuction" done along with her spay yesterday! Apparently, her uterus was extremely large (larger than normal) and was surrounded by lots of fat so the vet removed the fat along with the uterus and she's probably even lighter than 80 pounds now. She's an awesome dog, I hope she gets adopted fast so that I don't get terribly attached, although I already am! She's a much easier dog than I thought she would be! She's been doing great with my dogs and still is fine with them even though she's not feeling too hot right now from the spay - makes me wish she'd been done by her former owner at 6 months, much easier on them!

abker17 Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 Oh, my dad really envy's U now!!! She's absolutly gorgeous! :D :D :D Quote
spiritsmom Posted June 11, 2003 Author Posted June 11, 2003 I know, I just love looking at her! She is so pretty and shiny now that I've groomed her. It was 3 hours of hard work, but well worth it. She didn't complain at all, just licked me alot! She is amazingly well-tempered and so calm, just like Mystic. She really just likes to lay around the house. Here's a link to her own page, I added more pics to it and info. It's too bad your dad isn't "allowed" to have her, she'd be a great friend. http://www.fuzzybutts.com/shylohspage.htm I changed the address to her page so be sure to look at this one. She is really going to be hard to let go! Quote
Marble Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 what a spectacular dog! she really is pretty. i don't know much about her breed........do they have a lot of advantages over German Shepherds since they are less popular and therefore not as overbred? i mean like less health problems and maybe more stable temperments and all that stuff........

spiritsmom Posted June 11, 2003 Author Posted June 11, 2003 Kind of... there are still BYB of Shilohs as in any breed and this foster likely came from one as she is pet quality and was not spayed. They have lesser chance of inheriting hip dysplasia as it's not as common in Shilohs as it is in GSDs. Plus they are much more laidback, calm dogs too for the most part, some are quite driven. Quote
Bubblezzz Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 She is gorgeous! heehee... I even like her fuzzy-wuzzy look BEFORE the gooming... :lol: Quote
abker17 Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 She's so beautiful. My pop keeps askin about her, but my mom absolutly refuses to get another dog. Later in life he will probably have one. I just love the long coat. Keep us updated, oh yea, your website pics were very good. She's so pretty! :D Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 OHH! She's soo pretty! :D Can I have her? :D I swear if I lived near you I would have adopted her! :D Hope she finds a good home! :wink: Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 I love this pic! And look at those eyes! :angel: Quote
Barbiro Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 Very beautiful indeed. That is such an awesome breed!! It's going to be hard parting with this beauty, but if you can find a good home, then it's such a deed well-done. You should be proud of yourself. Quote
DogPaddle Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 Good luck with the adoption and good for you for fostering. Quote
ellieangel Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 She really is stunning lets hope she finds her forever home soon :wink: Quote
JackieMaya Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 What a beautiful girl! I just love her! Her fuzzy ears are great too. Hats off to you for fostering her. I know I wouldn't be able to do it as I KNOW I would get too attached and wouldn't be able to part with them. Both of my girls came from a rescue shelter where they were both living in foster homes. Thanks to people like you, wonderful dogs can find new homes. Quote
Daisysmom Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 Ooohh, very pretty. Good luck with her and in finding her a good home. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 BEAUTIFUL :) I HOPE SHE GETS HER FOREVER HOME SOON Quote
