English Shepherds are working dogs, valued for their versatility, loyalty, and intelligence. They make wonderful companions and working partners in homes where their intelligence, spirit, and devotion are understood and appreciated. The information on this website provides an overview and introduction to the breed and its history, as well as links to resources available to help people interested in finding or working with a dog.

Unlike most dog breeds, the English Shepherd is blessed with a breed organization -- The English Shepherd Club (ESC) -- which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization operated for the purpose of breed conservation. The means by which the ESC accomplishes this objective include:

• Educational publications;
• Development and operation of a breed database and registry for population surveillance, research, and reporting;
• Conduct of breed health and behavior surveys;
• Facilitation of volunteer networks for purposes of breed conservation.
