Garden visitor

Out in our garden its still nice and sunny and we have loads of flowers still in bloom.

I think this one looks interesting.

Apparently some of the flowers also interest visitors into our garden.

Like this little visitor.

But some garden visitors are a bit more permanent.

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.
