Do you need your dog to work livestock?

English Shepherds are capable of working most types of livestock, however particular dogs are likely to be more suited for some jobs than for others. The English Shepherd Club maintains a breeder list, and may be able to help you find an English Shepherd breeder whose dogs work in the manner you require.

Some bloodlines of ES are better suited to cattle or other larger livestock than other working lines and the potential buyer should query the breeder to find that out.
