old english shepard
Folks, I have been contacted about a five year old English Shepherd bitch that is available free to a good home. The English Shepherd is related to the border collie but is less intense. They are described as the quintessential farmer's dog because it is well rounded and can be used for herding, hunting and guarding. The dog is in a bad owner/handler situation. The dog's vet is trying to place this dog. It will be put down otherwise. There has been some heel nipping, and the owners have defaulted their responsibilities to fix this to having the dog destroyed. The vet believes this is a good dog, but is in a bad situation. I do not know the dog's pedigree nor its ability to work. Please contact me directly if possible. Michael |

| Ok just sent him a note via email to get more info. hopefully I will hear back from him. |
| According to Wikipedia, there is an English Shepard breed. They even start their page by stating 'Not to be confused with Old English Sheepdog.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Shepherd Just helping folks to not get confused. Vance |
| A nice working breed. They don't belong in most pet homes. This is a case where a breed specific rescue would be helpful. Why not contact the national rescue and see what they suggest? http://www.nesr.info/ Kristine |
| I will send the link onto him. thanks |
| There is one that goes to our dog park. Extremely nice dog. He does not have the drive or the energy that my OES has. |
| I've had a couple in my classes - nice dogs. More laid back than a border collie, but the less intensiveness seems to be made up for with increased stubbornness/independence.  And my pet peeve - it's shepherd, not shepard. They herd, not pard. It's a rampant misspelling that drive me nuts. OK, stepping down now....  |
