We breed for an all around good farm dog; a dog that can be trusted with livestock.

Our dogs are exposed to sheep from the moment they can be outside.

Our English Shepherds

Goochlands Hubba Bubba        “Bubba”

Honey is my right hand helper.  She is always by my side if given the chance.  Honey has been my buddy since she was born.  She knows when I have “farm clothes” on and an headed to the farm truck.  Any trip to the feed mill or to get hay, needs her assistance!  She’s a great mouse exterminator and has perfected the “snap & toss” method of dispatching mice.

Goochlands Honey Weiss          “Honey”

Eva is a wannabe alpha female in a house full of alpha's!  She is very work oriented and loves her livestock.  Eva is very agile.  She has no hesitation heading after the adult sheep, yet is gentle with the lambs.  She has been exposed to livestock since almost the beginning!  At 6 weeks she was able to get into the pasture to investigate the sheep. Eva has matured into a very biddable worker.

Goochlands Sweet Sparkler      “Eva”

Lola is the little dog with the big attitude!  She is very fast and has no hesitation taking on the big sheep.  She was able to convince one of the larger rams that he really should behave better by grabbing the fleece on his poll and hanging on…  She is very tenacious with the big boys, but will guard “her” lambs steadfastly.

Beebes Lola of Goochland         “Lola”

Olli is the “good ole boy” in the family!  He is one of the sweetest dogs I’ve met.  He loves to be with  people as well as the flock. He is very gentle with the lambs. He willingly moves the sheep to the proper location, usually quietly and slowly (although some puppy enthusiasm can show up once in a while!). He definitely loves his people, and is quite happy to nap at our feet.

Butchers GA Olliver Twist       “Olli”

Lillie is our auxiliary dog.  She is a very intent pup, very interested in the sheep and shows no hesitation with them or the poultry.  She loves to be out with us in the paddock and has picked up very quickly on how she should behave out there.  Lillie is maturing into a fine worker, very biddable and eager to please. She is very good with young stock and is learning to hunt with the older dogs.

Butchers GA Lillie Langtry      “Lillie”
