The History of the English Shepherd
English Shepherds are considered an original, or heritage, American breed of dog. By many accounts the English Shepherd, also known as a farm collie (and many other names in it's history), was the most prominent breed in the 19th and early 20th century here in the US. Brought here through the British Isles with Scottish and British settlers, the English Shepherd was the perfect small farm or homestead dog providing flexibility for settlers and homeowners to guard, herd, watch, and live with families.
