Element Shilohs started with a dog named Cobalt, my foundation stud from Stardust Shilohs. Since bringing him home in 2017, I knew I wanted to contribute to the future of Shiloh Shepherds. He was everything I ever wanted in a Shiloh, a shepherd that would bark when someone came over, then ask for belly rubs once they came inside. He has stamped our program with his charm and sweet expression. 

​

My approach to breeding is a blend of science, temperament and type. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Gannon University, I approach every litter with a focus on genetics and health testing. I believe that understanding the science behind each dog is crucial to producing healthy, stable puppies today and supporting the breed’s future for generations to come. We also rely on the knowledge and experience of mentors to thoughtfully evaluate what each pedigree may contribute to the health and behavior of the next generation..

​

As a professional dog trainer since 2011 and a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP), I bring over 15 years of hands-on behavioral experience directly to the whelping box. By raising our litters with Puppy Culture protocols, we nurture confident, resilient puppies from day one and equip our puppy buyers with the practical tools they need for a seamless transition home. We are happy to provide training help to our owners throughout the life of their dogs.

Whether your dreams include sharing the conformation ring, competing in dog sports, or welcoming a devoted companion into your family, my goal is to build a lasting, supportive relationship and serve as a lifelong resource through every stage of owning an Element Shiloh.​​
