Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Super Nova Shilohs located in Fargo, ND. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with this breed. These are great dogs and I want to give them all a great life. These dogs are incredible and I want to better the dogs for future generations. I spent months researching breeds, ethical breeding practices, genetics, and general animal husbandry.

Bridgit’s experience

  • About Bridgit

    I adore education and support when it comes to both puppies and people! I am driven to raise puppies to be the best versions of themselves and help prepare my puppy people in taking the torch as they steward their puppies throughout life.

  • What makes Bridgit’s program special

    We put an exceptional amount of due care into our breeding decision. Our gene pool is stewarded by Breed Wardens who assist breeders in navigating these choices. Additionally, I adore the Puppy Culture program.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

We raise our puppies per the Puppy Culture protocol. We expose them to as many novel things as we can and work hard to develop positive conditioned emotional responses to novelty. We will work with other breeders who may have age and breed appropriate litters on the ground to socialize together if health requirements are met. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Clicker Training, Crate Training, Sit Command, Puppy Culture , Car Training , Initial Potty Training, Collar & Leash Conditioning, ENS, Manding, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Touch Desensitization, and Various Surfaces .

Puppy health practices

All puppies are dewormed starting at two weeks. We have them examined by a vet and they receive their first round of shots. I will occasionally pull an insurance policy on them at birth if I suspect one may have difficulty thriving. I encourage all my puppy people to consider insurance policies and will begin them for them prior to going home if desired.

Extras

We send our puppies home with Volhard Personality Test, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Vaccinations, Toy with Mom's Scent, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Microchip, Food Starter Bag, Breed Club Registration, and Our puppies are all sent home with welcome home bags and information. .

Bringing your puppy home

Bridgit offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.

Pick up your puppy in Fargo, ND or nearby

If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.

“We require an in-person pick at our home for all puppies. Puppy pick-up for co-owned litters would be at the residence of the co-owners. ”

More about Bridgit

  • Why Bridgit started breeding

    I was impressed with the due care put into breeding by my breed club I got my first Shiloh Shepherd from. I realized it was a program I could get behind. Coming from a farming family, animal husbandry is in my blood. Stepping into breeding was a big step but I had a ton of support from our group!

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Super Nova Shilohs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Shiloh Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
