English Shepherd Breed Review by Keri Fabian
If you are looking for a hopelessly devoted dog this is the breed for you. Although they are very affectionate to other members of a human pack, they single out one member that is their focus of loyalty. Once trust is established, English Shepherds are extremely obedient! This is the true "Farm Collie" that will go out and herd the cattle, take long walks, or be found waiting by the front door for you to come home. It is a medium size dog (50-60lbs.) with medium length fur. It does shed, but very little.....something I was particularly concerned about. They come in many colors, mostly tri color or black & tan. It is rare, as in my case to find a solid color English Shepherd(she looks similar to a Golden Retriever). In my research, this breed has a 14-18 year lifespan. This breed is unique in my opinion because while it enjoys strenuous outdoor activity, it is just as content to snuggle or sit at your feet. It has strong herding instincts which may be an issue with children. This breed is is only registered through the English Kennel Club to prevent overbred "Designer Dogs" which sometimes occurs through the AKC. This fact sold me because I didn\'t want a beautiful dog at the cost of a high vet bill. They are also rather hard to find because they aren\'t registered with the AKC. I have owned other mixed breed medium/large breed dogs in the past that we\'re true members of the family but this is the breed that has stopped me in my tracks. I will own nothing else but an English Shepherd from here on!
