Isn't she lovely?


Freja is a pet quality Shiloh Shepherd. She cannot be a show dog and she cannot be bred. She has an underbite, which is a recessive genetic trait that should not be perpetuated. Her underbite does not bother her and she can eat and drink and play just fine.

Despite this flaw I think Freja is an absolutely beautiful girl. Her coloring and markings are very pretty and her ears are almost all the way up already.

Even better: she's an absolute sweetheart. She loves belly rubs and snuggles. She is very smart too. This afternoon I spent about a half an hour with her and Halle in the kitchen teaching Freja how to sit. I think she is getting it pretty well. I am going to try asking her to sit for her dinner the way we ask Halle to sit for her dinner.
