English Shepherd puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The English Shepherd originated in the United States in the 19th century, descended from herding dogs brought by early English settlers. They were developed as all-purpose farm dogs, valued for their intelligence, stamina, and versatility in handling livestock, guarding property, and assisting with daily farm tasks. Unlike many modern breeds, they were bred for function over appearance, producing dogs that were practical, resilient, and highly trainable. Today, English Shepherds are still prized for their working ability and devotion to family life.
