It took what seemed like a year before we were able to bring another dog into the house. Actually it was from May to September. We had gotten Milly from a shelter. She was anther person's throw away dog. I was determined to not make the same mistake. This time we would get a puppy. I wanted a dog that looked just like Milly. We found there is a breed called Shiloh Shepherd. Those dogs looked similar. We also found that many of them were very aggressive toward other dogs. So I began looking at German Shepherds. We found a breeder close to our house who recommended another breeder with a pup in our price range. I had been appalled to pay over $100 for Milly from the shelter. This pup was 4 months old and cost a whopping $800. The breeder Judy Kavanaugh brought the puppy to our house to see if we could get along. We were so lonely for a dog that of course we fell in love.

We had to buy him as we joked that we had petted all his hair off. He was a dog for our family however, one person became his owner and trainer. That was our daughter. I gave the dog to her because I couldn't open my heart up enough after the tragedy of Milly. We named him King.
Now we had a puppy, a blank slate to mold into the perfect dog. We signed King and Lois up for 4H dog class.
