Adopting a English Shepherd

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an English Shepherd - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt an English Shepherd at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The average cost to adopt an English Shepherd is around $100 to $300, which covers the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption and often includes vaccinations and spaying or neutering. In contrast, buying an English Shepherd puppy from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $500 to $3,000 or more.

The easiest way to adopt an English Shepherd is through a rescue that specializes in English Shepherds or herding breeds. A great place to start is by creating a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available English Shepherds and English Shepherd mixes in your area.

English Shepherd fun facts

Fun Facts:

English Shepherds were not bred to merely herd, guard, hunt, or kill vermin -- they did all of those jobs.

English Shepherds are one of the few modern breeds not bred for appearance conformation, but for working ability.

It's likely that the English Shepherd was the most common dog in America during the 1800s.
