We raise Old
English Sheepdog Puppies, guaranteed not for two years, not for
three years, but for their lifetime! Should a pup develop any
genetic health problem as confirmed by a veterinarian I will
refund the price of the pup or replace the pup (your choice).
Visit
www.oldenglishsheepdogs.com to meet the extended family of OES
all over North America and I am happy to put you in touch with
many references close to you. Also on our website is a link to our
veterinarian, Dr. Haider Elbermani who is happy to answer your
calls and confirm the good health of all of our dogs.
We have ten Old
English Sheepdogs here, they all run free 110% of the time on our
40 acres of land on the South Saskatchewan river where the dogs
swim every day all summer long. On our website you can read about
the wonderful temperaments of these great dogs, their personal
characteristics and their excellent health. All our dogs are
checked for Thyroid, Heart, and Eyes as well as x-rays to certify
their Hips and Elbows. Each of our dogs has a rating of “good” or
“excellent” for their hips and I do not breed any dogs with only a
“fair” rating. All health reports are posted on line for you to
download and verify.
All of our dogs
have dark brown gentle eyes, I do not breed any dogs with blue
eyes, this is because if you breed adults with blue eyes and white
heads then the pups will be predisposed to deafness. Occasionally
a pup is born with either blue eyes or one blue and one brown eye,
but 90% of our pups have dark brown eyes.
Every one of our
dogs is great with children, I can trust them all with our young
grand daughter – even when they are giving birth to their pups.
Friends children often come by to play with the dogs and pups,
even a child who is afraid of dogs when they arrive here is
comfortable with them when they leave.
Each of our
litters could be registered with AKC or CKC, however I do not
register our pups as I feel these organizations should put the
health of the animals ahead of ribbons in the show ring. As long
as AKC and CKC continue to register litters when the parents have
previously produced pups with genetic health problems, or as long
as they register pups who have not been certified for Hips and
Elbows (at a minimum) I will refuse to register my litters with
them. Each of my pups is bred to take first place in Genetic
Health, which is how I can offer the guarantee which I give!
All pups receive
their first vaccinations at 8 weeks of age, it is futile to give
them sooner as pups maintain an immunity from their mothers milk
for one month after they are weaned. I arrange all pups travel to
be as least disruptive as possible to the pup and at no time do
our pups stay in commercial kennels en route.
Our pups sell for
$900: in USA $900 US includes the travel for the pup to adopting
families anywhere in USA. In Canada $900 CAD and the adopting
families are responsible for the travel costs or picking up their
pup in person. All families get to pick their pups in order of
their deposit being received, a deposit of $100 will hold a pup
for you. If you are serious about adopting a pup from us then
please tell me about the home you have waiting for an OES. Once
I agree for you to adopt a pup from us then our relationship is
based on old fashioned trust, as I despise contracts as much as I
despise the show ring. I encourage adopting families to keep
in touch with siblings and relatives of their pups, and many
friendships have been formed all over North America with our pups.
I take weekly photos and movies of our pups which are posted on
our website and I keep families informed of their pups development
and socialization until they are old enough to leave our farm. I
greatly appreciate the wonderful messages and photos I receive in
return, to let me know the joy our pups continue to bring to their
new families. If anyone should experience any kind of concern or
challenges, then I am here to help you through the experience.
If you are
interested in an Old English Sheepdog then you should know they
are teddy bears in disguise, they think they are human, they have
personality plus and they love to be with their new family 24/7.
They will bring endless love and happiness to their new family,
but please realize the time commitment you invest in your new
puppy will directly reflect in the bond and relationship you
develop with them. We welcome your
phone calls or e-mails.
