English Shepherd Dog

According to legend, English Shepherds are almost pure Roman sheep and cattle dogs originally brought to the British Isles by Caesar in 55 B.C. The UKC has recognized this breed since 1934. These dogs are highly intelligent, very active, agile, fearless and gritty. They make excellent family pets, great watch dogs and courageous guardians of the home. They are easy to train and need lots of exercise. These dogs need regular grooming. Coat colors vary. They weigh 40 to 60 lbs. and stand 18-23" at the shoulders.
