English Shepherd Archives

English Shepherd history is a rich and fascinating subject. As the English Shepherd Club celebrates its 50th anniversary this year (2004), we would like to make a special effort to collect photos and stories that reflect the rich tradition of this original, American, breed. Anyone with information, stories or photos they would be willing to share is invited to contact the English Shepherd Club . Why collect these photos and stories? To preserve the past and to inform the present, so that in the future English Shepherd lovers won't be left with the predicament encountered by the owner's of a beautiful old fashioned farm collie in a Library of Congress photo...

"...he was a great dog in the old style, calm, eager to work but happy to lie on the front step between times.
They were never able to replace him after he died."
