At Allegheny McNabs, we are dedicated to breeding healthy and happy dogs. Our focus is on the McNab breed, known for their intelligence and loyalty.
Rooted in the rugged ranchlands of Northern California, the McNab Shepherd is a breed built on purpose, intelligence, and loyalty. Developed in the late 1800s by Scottish rancher Alexander McNab, these dogs were carefully bred to handle the tough terrain, wide-open spaces, and demanding livestock work of California’s cattle country.
By crossing hardy Scottish Collies with local working stock, McNab created a line of dogs known for their remarkable herding instinct, agility, and endurance.
As a landrace breed, the McNab was shaped by the land itself — valued for performance, not pedigree papers. Over generations, these dogs became trusted partners to ranchers across the West, earning a reputation for their intelligence, versatility, and steadfast work ethic.
At Allegheny McNab Shepherds, we’re proud to continue this legacy. Our McNabs are bred with the same purpose that guided Alexander McNab: sound minds, strong bodies, and an unyielding desire to work. Whether on the ranch, in competition, or as loyal companions, our dogs carry forward the true spirit of the McNab Shepherd: capable, devoted, and built for a lifetime of partnership.
Our puppies are part of our family, and we are excited to discuss the possibility of them becoming a part of yours. We look forward to talking with you!
