We saw an English Shepherd while taking a walk around town today. I've only ever met one in our area before, on my first flyball team (who pretty much looked like a curly Border Collie) so it was interesting to meet another one.
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.
Check out the 1st web link below to find out more and why.
Below are some pictures of my pack who I live with they are Auntie Breeze (Border Collie), Dare (Border Collie) and Chip (Patterdale Terrer).

Great picture. I wonder what's on Dare's mind?
Dare has a really adorable face, and the sun on his nose is perfect :)
It looks like a beautiful blue-sky day! No need to be wistful!
