PEDIGREE NOTES:

1. SHININGER LINES ; It has recently become known and verified that Shininger's Brandy was 1/4 New Zealand Border Collie. Shininger's Brandy was purchased from a farmer who bred unregistered English Shepherds and selected for working traits. Mr. Shininger saw Brandy's dam work, liked what he saw, and purchased a pup from her litter. Unbeknownst to Mr Shininger, Brandy's dam was 1/2 New Zeeland Border Collie and 1/2 unregistered English Shepherd. He registered him as a single registration with IESR. It has recently been confirmed by Brandy's breeder that Mr Shininger was not told about the Border Collie in the background. Shininger's Brandy is firmly woven into the English Shepherd breed at this point and his descendents have been bred to purebred English Shepherds.

2. PIPER LINES: Brook's Penny came from the Piper line of VA. The story goes these dogs were once registered and originally came from the old black/tan Blankenship and/or Wheelbarger lines of TN, but while Mrs. Piper kept records, she ceased registering the dogs, just selling to local farmers. Bonnie Brooks bought Brook's Penny, and after much discussion and show of records to UKC they agreed to start the registration process again. If they had been IESR registered, Penny would have been Step I .

3. PETERSON: . These dogs have not been registered but have been known in the English Shepherd world as good working type English Shepherds for many years. Their looks show classic English Shepherd type, as does their temperament and working ability. To our knowledge they have never been known by another breed name.
Some of these dogs supposedly go back to the registered Merz lines.


4. PARMELY: These dogs have not been registered but have been known in the English Shepherd world as good working type English Shepherds for many years. Their looks show classic English Shepherd type, as does their temperament and working ability. To our knowledge they have never been known by another breed name.
