IN 1978; I PURCHASED MY FIRST OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG PUPPY. AFTER DOING SOME RESERCH ABOUT THIS BREED...... I WAS IMPRESSED THAT THEY ARE VERY FAMILY ORIENTATED. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD WITH CHILDREN, WITH A SORT OF CLOWN PERSONALITY. I WAS HOOKED ON THIS BREED. THEY ARE VERY SMART AND TRAINABLE; IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO WORK WITH THEM, AND NOT JUST PUT THEM IN THE BACK YARD AND FORGET ABOUT THEM.THE COAT SEEMS TO BE THE DOWNFALL FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH BUSY SCHEDULES......SO I TELL THEM TO GIVE THEIR OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG.......A HAIRCUT!!!
WHEN IT GROWS BACK OUT....THEY LOOK LIKE A LARGER VERSION OF THEIR PUPPY, AGAIN. I LIKE TO SAY: THEY LOOK LIKE A BIG OLE' PANDA BEAR.......EXCEPT THEY ARE A GRAY COLOR, INSTEAD OF THE BLACK AND WHITE AS A PUPPY.
ALL OF MY PUPPIES ARE RAISED IN MY HOME, AND HANDLED FROM DAY ONE. TOTALLY SOCIALIZED WITH CHILDREN, AND GRANDCHILDREN.
THEY DO NOT LEAVE MY HOME UNTILL THEY HAVE BEEN PROPERLY WORMED AND HAVE HAD THEIR FIRST COMPLETE PUPPY SHOT; INCLUDING PARVO/CORONA.
IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE THEIR SHOTS; SO YOUR PUPPY WILL STAY HEALTHY.
I DECIDED TO BREED MY FEMALE TO A CHAMPION MALE. THIS WAS A GOOD START TO RAISE SOME QUALITY OLD ENGLISH, FOR MY BREEDING PROGRAM.I THEN PURCHASED A MALE, THAT ALREADY HAD HIS CHAMPIONSHIP AND BRED HIM TO MY GIRLS. HE PRODUCED SOME GEOGEOUS PUPPIES AND I WAS OFF TO A GOOD START. I VENTURED OUT INTO THE SHOW RING TO FINISH MY OWN CHAMPION!!! THEN BEFORE I COULD FINISH MY POINTED MALE....THE WORST THING HAPPPENED. HE DIED OF A HEAT STROKE, AFTER PLAYING BALL WITH MY CHILDREN. "BO" JUST WANTED TO BE A DOG......REALLY DIDN'T LIKE THE SHOW RING; AND NOW HE WAS GONE. "NO MORE DOG SHOWS."
NOW, I RAISE OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG PUPPIES, FOR HOMES WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE BREED; LIKE I DO!!
MY PUPPIES ARE MEDIUM TO LARGED BONED WITH REALLY NICE HEADS AND HAVE BROWN OR BLUE EYES (OR ONE OF EACH). USUALLY A MEDIUM GREY COLOR AFTER THEY CHANGE FROM BLACK. THE MARKINGS GIVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF MY PUPPIES THEIR OWN LITTLE PERSONALITY.
AT EIGHT WEEKS OF AGE THEY WEIGH ABOUT 12 TO 15 LBS. PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY AN OESD PUPPY FROM ME.....IN ORDER FOR ME TO HELP YOU.
