[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1727109, member: 32879"] Just this morning I was looking at some old family pictures my daughters put on my computer for me. Across five or more generations at family gatherings there was a farm shepherd or two hamming for the camera. They were mostly sable and white or black and white dogs most resembling what are called English Shepherds today. I have owned dogs like this all my life. The breed was perpetuated by a roaming male dog in each neighborhood that seemed to have a calendar telling him when neighbors females would be in heat. These were not field trial dogs but good useful dogs on the farm. They also made good "tree" dogs for coons or other varmints. Today it is hard to find a good stud dog of this type. Field trial type dogs put to much drive in the pups. Show bred studs often produce pups that are just worthless. My dog today is a spaded Australian Shepherd and Border Collie cross that is a good dog but would be better if I had more work for her to do. [/QUOTE]
