NEW LITTER BORN SEPTEMBER 3RD!
Guardian, Herder, Hunter, Companion; English Shepherd
In the Fall of '04 we decided to try our hand at raising Pygmy goats along with the myriad of chickens we had running around our yard in south central Virginia. After a few escape acts, it didn't take us long to decide we needed to add some type of herd dog to this equation, thus beginning our search for "Isabella".
After a few months of what we initially thought would be quick and easy research, we came a cross a breed we had never heard of, yet fell in love with instantly. The English Shepherd had qualities that astounded us, qualities that we knew would make this breed a perfect fit for our family and small farm. We were not disappointed. Isabella came into our lives and made quite an impact, demonstrating all the wonderful qualities of her breed.
We have since moved to Texas due to a job transfer and no longer have our farm. Bella, however, has adapted wonderfully as she still has the children to love and guard and the cats to maintain.
Having had Bella for three years now we would never want to be without an English Shepherd. We could not have chosen better. We encourage you to find out as much as you can about this amazing breed.
