English Shepherds

The rarest breed in the UK

"Unrefined to this day, English Shepherds still possess antique features once common to all early shepherd dogs -- its broad head, varying ear carriages & tail lengths, its half-coat, its multi-purpose working type & its sagacity remain hallmarks of the breed. These dogs are living history. What many shepherds once were, the English Shepherd still is." Vivian Flynt, Breed Historian

Both Adam and Eve have good hips and all health tests have come back clear.

Information on the "ES" 

English Shepherds are descendants of the Shepherds' dogs of Scotland and Northern England. This group also gave rise to modern "show" Collies and Border Collies. English Shepherds differ from their cousins in having been bred primarily for an upright, loose-eyed herding style, and by the continuous selection for all-around ability. These abilities include not only herding but also guarding and hunting. The surge in popularity of dog shows and sheepdog trials in the 20th century resulted in increased demand for the Collie types which these venues were designed to showcase. English Shepherds have never been primarily show dogs or trial dogs, but rather practical versatile workers for farmers who were interested in function rather than flash.

The English shepherd is not obsessive about herding and is capable of resting quietly at his master's feet when there is no work required. He can be trusted to not bother livestock and does not require kenneling when chores are done. Indeed, the English shepherd frequently develops a bond with, and displays a nurturing attitude toward, his owner's livestock and will keep them in their place while guarding against unwanted predators and pests.

The English shepherd is agile and quick, sturdy and muscular, with the stamina and grit to cover many miles over all types of terrain. He has keen senses, and can trail lost or injured animals. Calm in disposition, the English shepherd will withstand the pressure of long hours of demanding work.
