That might generate some interest. Please give him an extra biscuit from me.YesBiscuit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13827466504671715047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-48309910871764460692008-12-15T11:21:00.000-05:002008-12-15T11:21:00.000-05:00Good point.

When I got my Beardie type from the SPCA he only weighed 32 lbs but after awhile he came up to his normal weight of 50 lbs - and looked about the same.<BR/><BR/>So they stay clean, like Collies do if you brush them regularly, which is another great thing I'm learning about your lovely dogs.Caveathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712858257904194590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-68861228241254070122008-12-14T23:53:00.000-05:002008-12-14T23:53:00.000-05:00Two things about English shepherds that can mislea...Two things about English shepherds that can mislead:<BR/><BR/>1) Most have amazing "no care" teflon-textured coats that barely shed and don't pick up crap or dirt. So you won't see mats and mess on most of them. (ES with curlier or coarser coats can show signs of neglect, ala the show collie or the OES.)<BR/><BR/>2) Those thick coats conceal their body condition. You wouldn't think, looking at Gary, that he is still a 2/5 in body condition and needs about five more pounds. He was even thinner when I got him. Slightly fat ES (and many of them can get fat at the slightest provocation) look like hairy whales. Obese ES are like furred ticks. But mainly, emaciated ES look normal. You always have to put hands on the dogs to assess them.<BR/><BR/>A yard full of starving pit bulls looks like canine Treblinka. A yard full of starving ES or chows can fly under the radar.Heather Houlahanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891198124130533198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810033429461791744.post-88381751818642264702008-12-14T22:54:00.000-05:002008-12-14T22:54:00.000-05:00I have to say that while the place looks crappy, t...I have to say that while the place looks crappy, the dogs don't look to be in bad shape but I guess they didn't show the more disturbing pictures.<BR/><BR/>Good luck finding a home for that gorgeous boy.Caveathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712858257904194590noreply@blogger.com
