"English Shepherds have
the intelligence to adapt themselves to a variety of jobs and have proved
themselves useful as watch dogs in the large citiies and as retrievers and
trailers in the hunting field... How could the a dog trained by time to
wait so tenderly upon a little lamb fail to catch the eye of a little child...
This temperament and this intelligence makes the English Shepherd the ideal
family pet." Tom Stodghill, Quinlan, TX, c. 1950 from the ESCOA Who's Who, Breeder Manual |
Mississippi English Shepherd, 1966Busby's Princess Ginger, pictured at right"What breed of dogs could be more helpful, more intelligent, more courageous, active, engergetic, more beautiful than the old fashion black and tan, glossy coated English Shepherd?... eager to do their awaiting jobs whether it be step-saving jobs down on the farm, bringing in the cows, rounding up the chickens and turkeys, keeping a watchful brown eye on the old sow and pigs (seeing that the naughty old fox doesn't steal away a pig) or just dashing away into the woods for hunting the squirrels, coons, or what have you, even better still just being a companion to the young and old alike..." D.C. Busby, Mize, Mississippi as noted in UKC Bloodlines, vol. 47, no. 2, Mar/Apr 1966 |

Old Time English Shepherd Bloodlines, 1967Woodring's Buck, Jr, pictured at left"Here is a picture of UKC registered Woodring's Buck, Jr., taken when
he was eleven months of age. You can imagine what he will look like when
he is two years old. His sire, Woodring's Buck, has been picture in magazines
and newspapers throughout the United States. These dogs carry the famous
old-time UKC bloodlines, Armstrong, Prue, Yoder, Semy, Pineville, and
Hestand. I've never seen a dog carrying these bloodlines that wouldn't
work. They also make wonderful watchdogs and intelligent pets." |
