Registered with the English Shepherd Club Registry, and the United Kennel Club. Charlie is even tempered, very biddable, unflappable dog. He recognizes when things are out of place (strange animals on property, unknown visitors, etc) and will alert us, and relax when told 'thanks for the alert'. He loves people, children and other dogs. He is not reactive, does not resource guard and is able to be outdoors off leash. His jobs as a certified therapy dog have been as a reading buddy, nursing home visitor, and at a summer camp for special needs children as a companion on hiking outings.
Charlie is an all around great dog, easy to get along with and super easy to train.

He is also our 'homestead' manager. He does not officially 'herd' but he will return the neighbor's guinea hens to their house, patrol our perimeter, and keep the wild turkeys out of the garden.
