We have been blessed to own and breed a pair of this wonderful breed who continue to entertain us daily with their comical natures!!

The English Shepherd descends from the Shepherds’ dogs of England and southern Scotland which also gave rise to the modern day border collies; they were also known as the Old Fashioned Collie, Farm Shepherd, Ring tailed Shepherd and Ring Necked Shepherd (ESCBreederinfo.com). They are best known for their ALL-AROUND ability as herding, hunting and easy-going dogs. They make WONDERFUL family dogs and pretty decent chore helpers!!

Our Sire: Joshua Deets of Hat Creek (ESCR Registered) “Deets”

(Crosswind Silver x Badger Hole Bonnie of Cedar Creek)

2020 tri color male

“Deets” is N/N for all disorders by parentage; 60 pounds of pure friendliness, loves to cuddle, swears he is a lapdog and will play with our 6 yr old son nonstop! He is more aggressive with livestock than Macy and with consistency will be an amazing stock dog.
