Draba (pronounced Dray-ba) is a gray sable acquired 11/09/2009 from Dayspring Shiloh Shepherds in Maryville, Tennesee.
As of 11/11/2009, he was getting adjusted to his new home and had already showed his great Shiloh intellegence. Draba made good progress on his potty training after just a couple nights in his new home. He was a neat and tiddy puppy.
As he got older, his confidence grew. He established himself as #2 dog in our 3-dog pack, even though he is now bigger than 3-year-old Shavora. He seems to let her remain as #1. His personality is layed back. He seems to be more of a lover than a fighter, although he does pick on his younger pack-mate (Kesali) when he can.

Draba lacks a strong prey drive, but yet will let us know when the neighbors are out in their back yard by announcing with a good, deep (manly) bark. When he greets us, he likes to lean against our legs and beg to be petted.
At 10 months, Draba is over 90 lbs and is truely our Wolly Mammoth, especially compared with his female pack-mates.
We have started a website for Draba to document his growth and progress in our family. (Click the Draba Web button below.)
