If you are interested in bringing an Old English Sheepdog into your family, we strongly urge you to talk to several breeders or owners. Why? Because that cute little twenty pound ball of fluff will become a 60 to 90 pound adult. And, While you don’t have to keep your sheepdog in long coat, you do need to keep it clean and well groomed, (ears, toenails, eyes, pads, and bum). Sheepdogs ARE NOT outside dogs—they need human interaction to be happy.
Please do not buy a puppy off the internet. Every time a puppy farm makes a sale, it ensures that a female will be chained to a life of misery. If possible, visit the breeder, see the mother and how all their dogs live. You can make a difference by being careful in your choosing. Healthy, happy puppies are the result of a carefully planned breeding program and a clean environment.
Our members can help you ask the right questions when making your choice. Example: Have the sire and the dam both passed their CHIC exam? Look on the internet for the inherited diseases in OES. We want you to love a sheepdog that has good genes, a sound temperament, is free of genetic problems, and will always receive the very best of care from you. A great place to start your online research is the Orthopedic Foundations for Animals OFA.org
The following breeders are in good standing of the Old English Sheepdog Club of Greater Seattle (OESCGS). All our members have agreed to abide by our Code of Ethics to protect the Old English Sheepdog breed.
The breeders in this listing have agreed to spend some time talking with people who are interested in owning an OES. If the breeder does not currently have puppies to place, they will refer you to those breeders on our list who currently have litters of pups or adult OES available.
For information about adopting a puppy, refer to “Tips on Getting a Puppy” and the “Breed Pamphlet” on the OESCA Breeder referral page. Go to: www.oldenglishsheepdogclubofamerica.org/ .
