Re: [IceHorses] cute pup available OT
They look like working sheepdogs to me Is this the dog version of the Irish Tinker Horse? If so, you can get them for £50 from just about every farm around here! ; ))) Mic Mic (Michelle) Rushen --- Solva Icelandic Horses and DeMeulenkamp Sweet Itch Rugs: www.solva-icelandics.co.uk --- Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes
RE: [IceHorses] cute pup available OT
I have never seen one! amazing. They do look like your maggie tho dont they?? Janice No, Maggie doesn't really look like one to me. She looks more setter-ish, not shepherd-y, but who knows what she really is a mix of. I did see an apparent stray English Shepherd in the neighborhood a day or two before Maggie showed up...but I now have a suspicion where she came from and she might not be related to that English Shepherd at all. She COULD be part English Shepherd, but she doesn't look a lot like one. The woman who came up to tell me there was a stray near my driveway called back twice to check on her. She looked pretty poor, and really seemed oddly upset about her, and she had a bunch of stuff in her car when she came by... like she was moving. She mentioned her husband was very upset with her. After thinking about it, Maggie wasn't skinny when she came, and was pretty clean. I wonder now if the woman was leaving her husband, and couldn't keep her puppy, so when she saw the sucker sign by my driveway, she brought her to me. Who knows...? The woman wasn't from my neighborhood - not sure why she was driving by our country road. Maggie has a home now, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Hi, I am an English Shepherd enthusiast and though they come in many colors, black and tan is my favorite. We have had 4 since 1966 and though we have too many dogs right now and cannot buy him, I saw this one come up on the ES list and wonder if any of you need a great farm dog? He is so cute! http://www.freewebs.com/vinehillfarm/puppies.htm Ann
Re: [IceHorses] cute pup available OT
wow i dont think i have ever seen that breed before. They are gorgeous! Almost like Bernese Mt dogs with no white! Are they huge like a mountain dog?? Janice -- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
Re: [IceHorses] cute pup available OT
Google NESR, the rescue site for English Shepherds and you can learn all about them. They are a pretty rare breed and not AKC but have two or three breed registries. They come in sable, black and white, tricolor, and black and tan, my favorite. They really can herd, do agility and be a great house pet.the only problem is that they are so smart that you can find them ruling you if you are not careful. As Alistair says, he cannot imagine life without as least one. Ann

Re: [IceHorses] cute pup available OT
What a nice dog... I am a bearded collie person... both of mine are rescues but these look like wonderful dogs. I cannot find any info on pricing but I'm certain they are too expensive for me.
Re: [IceHorses] cute pup available OT
I had one too ANN, She was a wonderful dog... and CUTE.. she was black and white... a great farm dog... My hubby wanted a collie, so I got a collie, but she has not been as good of a dog as our English Shepard was, and the hair was much easier to deal with on the ES then on our Collie -- I and my horses love our track system!!! http://picasaweb.google.com/dakota.charm/TrackSystem The Soul of a Horse ~ has touched my soul, may it touch yours too! ~ thesoulofahorse.com/Pre-Order-Reviews.htm ~

My aunt and uncle had them when I was a tiny kid, and I got my first one when I was 12, after my collie died. They are pretty common in my immediate area. I always assumed they were common everywhere. :) Karen Thomas, NC

Bia, they are not an AKC breed, and they have been common farn dog/pets in NC in past years. I grew up with them all around - neighbors and relatives. If you are seriously interested, check one of the NC farm ad sites, like the Agricultural Review. I used to see pups going for $35-75 when registered breeds were more like $100-250, so they certainly weren't expensive then. (Obviously that's been a while.) I haven't seen any for sale lately, so I have no idea what their prices are now. Karen Thomas, NC
