I have been to some of the other groups and get the impression that most people want their dogs to be trial dogs like the BC's. I am not going to down BC's,...
... not ... chore ... On some of the other groups, if you express the opinion that ES traditional working instinct will not be maintained by trials, they send...
Hi Keith, good to "see" you here :-) There are a lot of us concerned that modern pressures have begun to change our breed. There are some well-meaning folks...
BC's have their place but they are not an ES. This is also not a put down but just a fact. ES are all purpose farm dogs that are bred to excell at their many...
...and I can't post about their wonderful guardian nature and how this works in regards to herding, LOL. Sheryl On some of the other groups, if you express the...
Well, now we have a place to talk about our English Shepherds as FARM dogs, not just as "just herding in trial terms" dogs, lol. Now to get the word out that...

I agree, however, they vary by individual dog and different lines in the amount of control you need to teach, the Butcher line is very biddable- you basically...

There are certainly narrow-minded people around, who insist that you must value the same things they do if you want to talk to them. Personally, I think those...
The dogs may not need a lot of training, but the owners OFTEN do. I think if you've lived with dogs a long time, you have probably absorbed a whole lot of...
