There is a lot of dog in these photos. These are Sugar (Natchez Trace Famous Shoes) and Shep (Natchez Trace Rebel Elegy). Sugar is by Rockhouse Hollow Remington out of Prater’s Lucy. Shep is by Sallee’s Rustie Jr. out of Sherling’s Jill. Shep is just six months old in these photos, but when these two dogs are paired, I believe they will produce Old-fashioned Black and Tan English Shepherd pups like our breed has not seen in three generations. These are the kind of dogs that the old-timers tell stories about, the kind that many thought were lost. They have grit, smarts and ability coupled with intense loyalty and work ethic. My wife Bekkey will be the first to tell you that I have put an untold amount of time and money into getting these two dogs together. God willing, I will be talking a lot of about these two dogs and their pups in the coming years.
