Talk:Shep

Untitled

"Shep" is a common name for herding dogs because it is such a short name, consisting of only one syllable. This is so the person directing the dog can do so as quick as possible, thus lessening the time needed to give commands.

There are a lot of one syllable names. Wouldn't it be more telling to say that it is a shortened version of "Shepherd"? Dystopos 21:17, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Huh, I can't believe that I didn't say that when I added the original original text; I had to go look at the history to be sure! Good thing there are multiple editors here-- Thanks! Elf | Talk 23:36, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Shep is also a nickname for Shepard Smith, a news anchor on Fox News. Could somebody add that in on this page?76.235.79.228 (talk) 20:33, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
