I wanna do a project in honor of my Moose by recreating his recent DNA results on HP but I need the Mcnab Shepherds to do it! So here I am again. lol Mcnabs have been on HP before -> Link to dog search so I only need 3 to make it happen.


Mcnabs are not recognized by the AKC but the CKC does recognize the breed so here is a bit about them: Scotsman Alexander McNab moved from Scotland to Mendocino County, California, in 1866. As an experienced shepherd, he became dissatisfied with the dogs available to work sheep in the way that he needed. In 1885, he returned to California from Scotland with two Scotch Collies, and these two dogs, which were excellent at heading and herding, were bred to local dogs of Basque Spanish and English origin to produce offspring that excelled in sheep work and were capable of heading, heeling, and driving.


McNab continued to fine-tune his dogs, adding more influence from the Scottish dogs he imported over the years. He preferred the smoother coats for the Californian climate. The McNab dogs became well-known throughout Northern California and eventually made their way outward. Today, they have a strong following in the sheep-herding world and are known to excel in dog events and other activities.
