My name is Dee Harwood and I adopted Lexy from Joyce Hamblin of Woodside Ranch Shilohs in April of 2007 after my shepherd/husky mix (Chelsea) passed away from old age. We have another purebred shepherd (Alley) but she is “my husband’s” dog and Chelsea was “my dog”. When she was gone, there was a very large piece of me missing. I knew about the Shiloh breed for a few years. A neighbor of mine had one when I lived in the Cascades, VA. I knew how large and beautiful they were but I never imagined that I would be lucky enough to own one for myself. My saying is “the bigger, the better” as far as owning a dog. When Chelsea passed, I took a look at Newfoundland, and St. Bernard, and some others, but my mind was made up about the Shiloh when I saw the puppy pictures
Lexy was Pink Girl. Even though the only way I saw her was via the internet and pictures, I knew I wanted to adopt her. She was so fluffy and adorable! I phoned the breeder in Oregon and she got to know me over the phone. I had the qualifications she was looking for in an owner and I was able to sign the adoption contract. Lexy’s breeder teamed with Christie Yanovick of Ridgewood Shilohs. It was her daughter Trish who flew all the way out to Oregon to bring Lexy and a few other pups back to the East Coast. I couldn’t wait to drive up to Reading PA to pick Lexy up. I fell in love with her again when I saw her. It’s been a match made in heaven ever since! She is the BEST dog I have ever met. Anyone who meets her immediately says how beautiful and friendly she is. That's my Lexy Love!
