Dakotah Shepherd

"I bought "Smokey" off the tailgate of a pickup truck in Belle Fourche (South Dakota) where I met the breeders (Michelle Mollman from Triple M Kennel) halfway. I was told that the litter was a mix of English Shepherd, Border Collie and Australian Kelpie. This was in the very beginning stages of the Dakotah Shepherds breeding program. Smokey was from one of the first generation foundation stock even before the name "Dakotah Shepherd" was decided upon. Smokey was born in February of 2004. Smokey is a neutered male. When he was 2 years old he weighed 56 pounds at a height of approximately 22". His colors: sable, white spot on breast and the coat is long and coarse. There were one or two tri-colors in the litter as well as all-sable puppies. Smokey is athletic and fast. He loves to go for walks. His father is an English Shepherd, mother Border Collie/Kelpie Mix. Smokey is very laid back for his breeding (herding dogs), sensitive, smart, listens very good. Affectionate but does enjoy some "me"-time too. He loves water and rolls in every mud hole but would never swim. Loves to drive in the truck. Smokey also likes squeaky toys, fetch, hunt rabbits and chase horses (and he sure is not allowed to do that!)."
