Hi all ~ I have been checking the English Shepherd forum but it is dead! No posts (except mine) for a yr. So, as they have many similar traits as the BC, I figured I'd give this board a shot. Can't hurt!
Anyone out ther familiar with the breed? Anyone heard of it? (no, they're not accepted by AKC- thankfully) As we unexpectedly lost Sophie, our older GSD, in Feb. we were in search of another dog and got an ESX pup in May. "Stella" is the puppy from hella! She's bright, fast, alert and almost always on the move. Don't really see any herding qualities yet but she's only 5 mos. She loos lot like a BC (except for the head) and is black & white with marking almost identical to Atticus (my BC)- it's a bit spooky, even for me! So, thought I'd check in here just in case anyone knows anyone who knows anyone....... etc. Thanks! and sorry for the OT. Nancy & Stella
