The English Shepherds (American Working Farm Collies) of Sycamore Spring Farm
!!!!!!!!Happy NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!....... PUPPIES due January 18 2012
The English Shepherd was right there as the Farm collie, Farm Shepherd Scotch Collie, Old time Collie-whatever name you want to call them-they were the most popular breed(s) of dog in the United States during the 1800 and early 1900's. Practically every family, whether farm, country or city had a relationship with these beloved dogs.
As the smaller diversified family farms dwindled in numbers, the English Shepherd faded from the land. And as the new "specialized" collie breeds gained popularity these dogs became rare indeed.
At Sycamore Spring Farm we are passionate about preserving what we consider a national treasure-the English Shepherd as an American Working Farm Collie.

Our dogs are bred for superior intelligence and a deeply ingrained desire to please their master.
Got Goats?!?...no problem
English Shepherds are intelligent, alert, responsive working dogs. They are exceptionally devoted, and sensitive and have a strong desire to work in partnership with their owner, whatever the task.
English Shepherds have a strong herding instinct with exceptional agility, stamina, and stout-hearted perseverance. The breed has been long valued for their tracking, hunting and treeing ability.
Their unique blend of intelligence, athleticism, and train-ability, allows them to excel at many of the newer dog sports at the highest levels of obedience and agility. They also make outstanding partners in Search and Rescue, and many English Shepherds are certified Therapy Dogs.
English Shepherds are truly all-purpose dogs, eager to work for their owners in a variety of settings

All our pups are farm born and raised. We have a socialization plan that will expose the pups to stock, poultry and lots of different people situations. A well bred and socialized pup is very people friendly and a joy to be around. They bond and respond quickly when treated respectfully and trained with fairness, firmness and fun. All of this early positive imprinting will prove POSITIVELY BENEFICIAL in your adult dog.
A healthy, happy, well bred English Shepherd or Farm Collie is very "tuned in" and empathetic with their master, family and extended "pack" members.
We will explain the evaluation process of pedigree. genetic soundness, character and temperament when considering a future with one of our Pups/Dogs.
