Greer was a lovely Tri-color (minimal white) female, 20 inches tall at the shoulder and 45 pounds. Scottish Gaelic, the name Greer is the feminine form of Gregor and means ‘watchful, vigilant’.

Greer had sound structure although a bit tipped in the pelvis; she was fit, agile, and fast. She had a silky coat (with a thick undercoat in winter).

Very much an “English Shadow”, she followed us everywhere, giving a gentle touch to let us know she was right beside even on long hikes. Greer was a biddable ‘thinker’, not too bossy; sweet, very desirous of affection and human companionship to the point of being a lap dog; submissive and sensitive, but no shrinking violet. She was very playful (a fool for fetch!), with moderate energy and drive; settled when all is quiet.

Greer had good working traits and was readily directed. She had confidence and power with stubborn cattle; went to head and heel. We trusted her to watch out for us while tending the fold. Calm around the rabbits and hens, never mouthy with the kitty. Greer was an awesome vermin hunter!

Greer was kind and trustworthy in public yet wary of strangers at home and could be very protective, even nippy; she did not like other dogs on her turf, but was fine with them at a distance in public.

She was a delight in our life!
