Diamond gets a partially raw diet. She gets kibble @ each meal with raw ground turkey and whatever I have to make it interesting! At six months I started to give her raw meat on the bone, mostly chicken wings. Now at One year old, she got her first BIG piece of raw meat on the bone. Many of our Shiloh people give their dogs chicken leg quarters because they are easily found and the cost is minimal. Backs & necks are good too, but I found these on sale and decided to see how she would do. She didn't know what to make of it at first. In fact it took her all day to eat that thing and it wasn't even frozen....
Here's 2 clips!!!!

Diamond's First Birthday 2-2-09
It's Diamond's First Birthday. Matt & Sara mixed up a special treat. Diamond wasn't too sure about the candle in her food, but she tolerated it for the pictures. (She's such a Good Dog)!!! For more Birthday Pics take a look at her picassa album. I will probably add more through the day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIAMOND!!!!!!
We love you!!!!

Diamond the Diaper Dog
This is also Jan 2009. Diamond started her 1st heat. She was not feeling very photogenic here, and I can't blame her. I had to take some pictures though because I never had a dog go through heat before, and it is a milestone for her. The white diaper (aka my husband's old underware) are just a temp while the denim are washed and dryed. She is doing quite well with wearing them. Hopefully this time next year we will be breeding her.
To see more of these doggie diaper pixs check out my picassa.
Diamond & Cousin Mya
This is Jan 2009. Diamond had not seen her cousin Mya since she was just a pup. Now that they are more evenly matched, they played quite well. Mya is still the Alpha, but Diamond held her own. I waited until they had played themselves out before trying to take any photos.
Check out my Picassa for more photos of this playdate.

Diamond's 1st Christmas
Well, Diamond is 10 months old and about to experience
Her First Christmas.
Her First Christmas.
She is doing really well with all the decorations. I had to eliminate some decorations just in case though. She loves the snow and so do I because it means NO MUD!!! My kids left a sled in the backyard, and the next day Diamond had fun pulling it around the yard. Now if I could just get her to pull the kids!!! I'll get a picture of it next time.

ISSR Homecoming 2008
Breed Founder Tina Barber and the International Shiloh Shepherd Registry (ISSR) has been doing a Homecoming for 34 years. This year Diamond and our family were proud to be a part of it. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. Diamond had never been in a dog show before, but she did quite well, for a 6 month old puppy. We put her in one of the 3 shows. She took 1st place in 4 catagories. Taking home 4 ribbons and 2 trophies. (See her with the trophies and Judge Fred Lanting (above). See our web album for more HC 2008 pics. Even the kids got a chance at handling the dogs in the ring. They had a blast!

Diamond meets her cousin Riley
My niece came for a visit the first week of July. She brought her Austrialian shepherd "Riley" for a visit. Riley is going on 2 years old. It was fun to watch them play. It was obvious that neither dog is "Alpha". I know Diamond enjoyed playing with her cousin. Riley was a little tired out from playing with two other dogs all weekend, but he still has enough left for Diamond. Take a look at the picassa web album.
