• Email Lists discussing English Shepherds:
  Recommending email lists is always a bit dicey, as the content varies over time and discussion can sometimes be dominated by a vocal minority. Nevertheless, if read with common sense and a sense of humor (and a willingness to use your "delete" key!), there is a wealth of information that can be gleaned on many lists:
  (1) Listserv English Shepherd list -- fairly low volume list, various topics related to breed
  to subscribe, send an email message to listserv directory , leave the subject line blank and in the body of the message type SUB ENGSHEP-L your name here
  (2) Yahoogroups -- to subscribe, visit Yahoogroup website and follow directions for signing on; there are several groups devoted to conversation about English Shepherds. Each group comes with its own "personality" -- so be prepared to filter what you read according to the bias of the list moderators!
