Hannah and Jake - Litter born 10/27/11

English Shepherds are descendants of the Shepherds' dogs of Scotland and Northern England. English Shepherds have been bred for generations as all-purpose, working farm dogs. Their responsibilities have ranged from herding and protecting stock, to dispatching vermin, guarding the home, and watching over children. The unique ability to handle all types of livestock and a variety of tasks is the defining feature of this breed.  They are highly intelligent, spirited, and devoted making wonderful companions and working partners.

So, little bit about Hannah...  The first word that come to mind is sweet.  She loves our daughter (sleeps on her bed most nights) and loves to cuddle (with us, our other dogs, and our cats).  She has a great personality.  She is an excellent watchdog, letting us know when anyone comes to visit.  She is always within site of her cattle.  She loves our cats but chases away any strays that show up for a free meal.  She has no bad habits.  She loves to please us - she is always attentive and wants to "help."  Our daughter is four years old and she bosses Hannah around.  Hannah obeys her commands of "Hannah Come, Hannah Sit, Hannah Stay" and enjoys every minute.  We do a fair amount of camping with our horses.  Hannah loves to go camping and really loves trail rides.  She is truly a gentle, well behaved sweetheart.

Why choose our English Shepherds?  Our puppies are "Raised on our family farm, with our family, in our home."  We are not in the puppy business - we do not have multiple litters each year.  Our puppies are given personal love and individual attention.  Click on the English Shepherd link at the bottom of this page for more information.
