Well Jazz is having health problems so we will not be breeding her unless we can determine why and it isn't something that would affect pups. I apologize to any who were hoping for a pup after our disapointment last summer with her.
Please check http://www.englishshepherd.org/ if you are looking for a puppy. The National English Shepherd Rescue http://www.nesr.info/ has dogs of all ages available also so they  might have the perfect dog for you.
If anyone has contacted me in the last couple months and I was supposed to get back to you with information, please try me again or check out the listing above. I am behind on everything with learning how to handle all the livestock,gardens etc.
Things work out for a reason and maybe God is telling me now is not the time to spend a lot of time on a litter of pups. We do spend many, many hours  with a litter and it just seems as though the time since the last litter, almost two years ago, has flown. 

Sometimes things do not work out like we planned them. Everything was done right but Jazz and Beau did not have any pups. We took Jazz to the vet today to confirm by xray that there were none. It was quite disappointing but the vet did not see anything wrong so we will be trying again. I am sorry for all those who hoped for a pup. If you would like to be put on the waiting list for the next litter please let me know. I have tried to write everyone personally but it has been a hectic day. My MIL broke her hip this afternoon so as soon as we got Jazz's xray I headed off to emergency to handle that problem. 
 The next litter won't be for at least 6 months. We did try Jazz on the sheep for the first time ever when it was pretty clear this morning that she wasn't pregnant and she did a beautiful job. We will try our best to get some pups from her. Sometimes these things just happen. Again, I am really sorry. I know how disappointing this is. If you are not interested in waiting please check out the English Shepherd Club website for litter listings at  http://www.englishshepherd.org/breeders.htm.

We finally have our sheep in addition to our goats, geese,ducks,turkeys and chickens. The dogs are getting more of a chance to actually work around the animals although at this point it is pretty simple while the newer animals are getting used to us. We have a small flock of Romney and a small Katahdin hair sheep flock also so are looking forward to lambs next year. Our dogs have always worked around the broilers and laying hens, which can be pretty flighty. We are interested in how they will do with the larger animals. Beau has shown his protective instincts around both the goats and the sheep. I will try to record in more detail what he has done on his page. I can say this- I don't worry about going out in the ram's field with grain for the chickens when I have Beau with me. Beau has spent some nights in the barn guarding his goslings after we had one badly damaged while in the barn one night. Whatever attacked the poor gosling wasn't able to more than damage him but we ended up losing him. Once Beau was in the barn all night there were no more attacks.

Jazz was bred to Beau and is due the end of July. Check out her webpage as we build it  for more information and pictures.  She is a very sweet dog, went to NY state 4H competition in Rally-o, obedience and showmanship and did very well, is a great farmdog with loads of sense and loves agility. My daughter Sarah, who just graduated, will be handling Jazz's litter since she is Jazz's person.
