@Sheepshape Cowboy is an Australian Shepherd so yes, he has a bobtail.

Some English Shepherds are born with natural bob-tail (NBT) and some have long tails. We picked Lana from a litter of 11 and there were both. She had a full tail. They also come in tri, Black/tan, and sable. Most have at least some white on them. Here are some pics of Lana.

She was often called a Border Collie by visitors.

I find the fact that Australian Shepherds and English Shepherds were both created in the US but have names for other parts of the world very entertaining (but confusing for many!)

That spider is a garden spider. Supposed to be very good for gardens and symbolize good luck.

Thanks! She's also probably one of the smartest dogs I've ever owned. Eager to please, very obedient, a decent herder and an excellent varmint getter. Love her to pieces! Can't sing the praises of this breed enough.

DS fed the cats!

No worries, the rats will have it cleaned up by morning.

What do you make of this color woolly worm for winter? Ours are all solid like this

That reminds me I saw one today, lighter shade of brown but ALL the same color. No belt. Not sure what that is supposed to mean for the coming winter.

So, the English Shepherd was developed in the USA and we don't have them over here

Kinda like California Pot Roast didn't come from California.

Did anyone mention that Australian Shepherds had nothing to do with Australia?

Your wolly worm is forecasting a mild winter.....
