We are excited to send Congratulations to Shiloh Shepherd Brodie for not only being the first Shiloh Shepherd to have earned a place in the NAKC Hall of Fame, but for being the first dog of any breed to earn the honor. This is so exciting for his owners, The Grieves family of Midnight Shilohs, his handler Suzy Graham of Tantara Shiloh Shepherds and his breeder ISSDC NE member Patti Schaefer of Shenandoah Shilohs. This is no small feat to achieve as Brodie had to beat 10 Master Supreme Champions to earn the honor. Until recently a Master Supreme Championship was the highest CH awarded by the NAKC and at the present time there are only a select handful of them. Brodie was only the second Shiloh Shepherd to earn his Master Supreme Championship title with NAKC (formerly Rarities) and the fifth dog all around to achieve the title.

Brodie; GVx2 TD GrCanCH rbCH Shenandoah's Midnight Special, OFA CGN HIC TT; is from the August 2005 Bullet/Willow litter bred by Shenandoah Shilohs in PA.
Brodie has excelled in the conformation ring since puppyhood, starting his career as the ISSDC 2006 Puppy of the Year; 2006 #1 Puppy in Group, #2 Puppy all around and #4 dog in Group for the RBCSWO (Rare Breed Club of Southwestern Ontario); as well as the NSBR #1 Top Dog for 2006. 2007 brought more success as Brodie was honored with double GV awards earning GV status with the ISSDC and the NSBR as well as being named the #1 Top Dog for the RBCSWO.

"Brodie's success could not have been obtained without the help of his handler Suzy Graham," explain his owners, the Grieves family. "She brings out the best in him and he absolutely enjoys being in the ring with her."
But on top of Brodie's impressive show career he is a total family dog. The Grieves go on to share, "We have to thank his breeder Patti Schaefer of Shenandoah Shilohs for him, and he is an absolute gem to have in our home. He has a laid back attitude which fits in well in our family. He loves our girls very much and can often be seen upstairs on a bed looking out the window waiting for them to come home from school. He also gets along very well with our other Shiloh, Meeka (Ocean State's Bonnie wee Lassy)."

Thank you to ISSDC NE member Patti Schaefer for breeding such a great Shiloh and for his owners, Robert and Sue, and handler, Suzy, for bringing out the best in him and showcasing the breed in such a positive way.
