Guest Leveller Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 An Old English Sheepdog ? I would put money on it being a herding dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi 4 Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 ya be on the money i'd say leveller pretty common over here on heading dogs and collie x's. it's a fault found in working dogs that stays in some lines of working dogs. alot like the smithfield blood which keeps throwing tailless pups.

Guest tim Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Its quite common to fing dew claws even double ones on bull x's, the thing is dew claws on back legs are so easy to remove, cant understand for what reason someone even left them on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreter 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 A friend of mine has a big black dog that has double dew claws on it's back legs. June's dog is a French breed (the French cops use 'em) I think it's spelt "bouceron" - well that's what it sounds like. Troy weighs in at around 7 stone, is as gentle as a lamb, in fact he is now doing the job he was bred for - he helps to look after a flock of sheep on a croft in the Highlands.
