Hi All; Forwarding an email (with permission) I recently received from a lady in N.C. that had purchased one of our 'Nik-Kee pups from us now 4 months old -...
Good morning Jean You're right , training people is harder then training dogs. They're not as willing to listen as our dogs are. Thankfully we've still got the...
Black Mountain lions are very rare. But, they do exist. I crossed trails with one in the North Georgia mountains some years back. It was about 75 feet away....
... always ready for chores, bring the horses up for grain, keep them in the right feed tubs. Put's the chickens up at night, and ducks when I had them....
story is they are black jaguars from central america that accompany shipments of drugs... Kinda like junk yard dogs... They are semi-domestic, so they show...
This is from many many years experience breeding GSD's. I don't have a farm, and have little enough access to stock to test my dogs to find how they work on...
This is from many, many years experience breeding GSD's. Breeding those for temperament traits works the same as in ES's. Breeding for temperament in dogs is...
Yes, we are told here in S Central Oklahoma that there are no Mountain Lions here, but there are. Too many people have seen them, including me. There is a...
I was in a hurry, so didn't finish here. Though my one job (dog training, in obedience, agility, Therapy ans service dog work, and temperament evaluations for...
... That pairing with the influx of "calmer" seems to be good. You may want to consider going that way even more, if you breed... ;-) Sounds like Gemma is...
Hi These are the dogs I want to see bred on, REAL dogs, not imitations. Theres too few of them in the world anymore. Jake ... always ready for chores, bring...
This is exactly why we started AWFA ten years ago... Elaine ... imitations. Theres too few of them in the world anymore. ... house. Whiskey is ... in the ... ...
GSDs are from a founder event that resulted in a breed that is not nearly as diverse as ES. If Stodghill's plan had resulted in the only ESs then the breeds...
Hi Elaine, Do you have a particular breeding in mind that this happened? I'm curious if it was any of the dogs in Gem's line. I'm going to write you a report...
This is the kind of help I love! I love it when a dog has the power and self confidence to just hold stock and not get sucked into fighting with them just...

Good morning Elaine What cross were you referring to that produced "two abysmal pups" ? Re: the German Shepherd breed, I was an active member of the German SV...
Not neccessarily. No trait in itself is a bad one in English Shepherds, IMO the breed is too diverse for the simple view that you have presented. It is the...
I was told by an ol' time ES owner, the ES was bred into the GSD during the WW1 era. Chances are these crosses added to the 'working' ability. Peg Egertsen ...
The ES is a landrace breed. http://www.geocities.com/horsesnewmexcom/albc.html Stodghill tried to be the Von Stephanitz of the ES breed in a very similar way....
Hi Peg I doubt this simply because the breed was founded on German herding dogs. The Germans even then looked down on most anything that wasnt German. They...

There have been black mountain lions for generations in North America. They are called Melanistic. None are known to have been killed or captured. I saw one...
I bet you are both right. I bet ESs were added to the war dogs over here, and that they were kept out of the registered dogs genepool. Are you sure you are ...
I've heard them around here. We are surrounded by the Mark Twain National forest in SE Missouri. My neighbor has seen sign up a hollow near us. I saw one on a...
I could easily be (mixed up with the two WW's.) It's been 3 years since I had that conversation......sigh. But since I was talking to U.S.A. owner, don't...

My concern is that the working farmers who are breeding Missy's relatives are registering them with UKC only....which means we don't have any way to find them....
Actually, most of her relatives aren't registering them anywhere. That is what I'm working on, in part, to try and run some of them down, and get them into...
