The Old Time Farm Shepherds is a rare breed that is being brought back to popularity among ranchers and homesteaders again. This is the dog that crossed the prairies with the Pioneers, protecting livestock as well as the families. Many pictures are archived showing these dogs in them, every family had one. We first became aware of these dogs hearing John and Jean Copeland remembering the dogs seen on every ranch in the area in the early 30's and 40's when young Jean would travel with her dad on his creamery route. Back then most of the ranches kept a few milk cows and would sell the cream to the creamery for butter and cheese making, and young Jean became impressed by the "farm shepherds" as they called them. In 1989 we were able to rescue one of these dogs from down the Klamath River . The previous owner had always kept a few, and when she passed away, this poor dog was forgotten and traveled the town begging for handouts and killing squirrels to survive. We got her and so began our education into The Old Time Farm Shepherd, as they are now called.
