Its suddenly a bit chilly here. I think Autumn may have finally arrived.

Riley loves this crisp air as she seems to smell more critters that wonder onto our property through the night! She has gotten into a bit of trouble as she wants to howl and her throat is still healing. We are "trying" to keep her calm, but she just loves this cool weather!

What are English Shepherds ?

English Shepherds are descended from the dogs settlers took with them to North America to work on their farms from England and lowland Scotland. They were bred to be all round farm and family dogs rather than having just one job to do.

They have been recognized as a distinct breed by the UKC in the USA, since the 1930's.

Wizz is one of the dogs from the first litter to be born in England, she was born on the 3rd of November 2008. Wizz's parents Adam & Eve have been brought to the UK from the US by Jackie to reintroduce the breed to this country.
