I'm Linda D., the breeder behind Flashbar Farm English Shepherds located in Swiss, MO. At Flashbar Farm English Shepherds, we love our typey English Shepherds. With the pairing of Bennet and Sidney began a legacy of truly wonderful dogs that we’re blessed to carry on in their offspring. The two created some very special souls that we feel are worth sharing. Flashbar ES are proven to be versatile and excel in anything traditional for ES, but also can do “the new stuff” like disc, agility, etc. A Flashbar grandpup is even in training for SAR! These are truly versatile dogs.
