Who we are and why we breed English Shepherds

Chico 1983We are a family that works together in our breeding programs to support and maintain the English Shepherd as a farmdog. We are separate kennels with our own agendas but we work together for the preservation of the English Shepherd.
We feel that herding training can be beneficial to the English Shepherd, but selection for future generations of English Shepherds *must* be made on the merits of how the dog works with his farm family.
Mom Elaine was raised in Oklahoma and Southern Arkansas in the 50s and 60s where the Farmcollie landrace was predominantly relied upon and was common. She currently lives in the Oklahoma panhandle where she raises her English Shepherds with Son Ben under the name Cimarron English Shepherds.
Daughter Erin was raised by an English Shepherd named Chico. He was all a dog should be and is the inspiration for this breeding. Erin lives with her family in Northeast Wisconsin with her husband, Dan, and four kids. They are on a large dairy and have a small hobby farm on the side. Their English Shepherds are at the heart of their work. They operate under the kennel name of Red Bank English Shepherds.
We breed English Shepherds because they are a valuable tool on the farm and we are determined that English Shepherds cannot be at the end of their existence. You can get a family friend at the humane society, but you'd be hard pressed to find such a valuable farm tool there!
