paulcreed78 10 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 it was a old english sheepdog, i dont think they ware used as a cross as they are a show dog for far to many years with out any working tradition behind them Quote Link to post
P5HEN 168 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 you sure it wasnt a bearded collie you was looking at no chid21 it was an old english it was painting a wall, no on a serious note i asked him what it was because of the dark colouring, exactly same markings as any other old but the grey area was nearly black, 1 Quote Link to post
