Meet the breeder
I'm Laura K., the breeder behind Solace Shilohs located in Bothell, WA. We breed for a physically and mentally healthy dog. A teachable dog, one that intuitively learns from its human, one that observes and has an intrinsic desire to please. We produce a variety of temperaments suitable to become therapy dogs, search and rescue, obedience and show ring candidates.
Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
I adopted my first Shiloh Shepherd Kody in 2001. When we would go to Home Depot, each time about 4 parents would see Kody and ask if their kid could sit with us and pet him. Kody babysat dozens of kids at Home Depot over the years, while their parents shopped. I realized how amazing these dogs were and I so proud to own one, that I decided to breed them, to facilitate others having one.What makes your program special?
The pups and adults are intelligent, healthy and beautiful. My Shilohs come with a deep connection to people. I am always available to my clients no matter when or what the issue is. I appreciate the relationship I have with my dogs and my clients who get pups from me. I have extensive knowledge of dog behavior, health and care.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
