Puppies

Showing dogs is wonderful, but it’s the breeding that I love. I've been breeding Old English Sheepdogs for almost two decades, and I love the joy that I help bring to so many families.

I have puppies occasionally. My breeding program is based on health, temperament, and beauty. All three are required to produce the highest quality Old English Sheepdog puppy.

Health

• Both parents have hips OFA certified and eyes certified.
• Each puppy comes with a health certificate from my veterinarian.
• I have special nutritional programs for my adult dogs, pregnant moms and growing dogs. Here is more information about how I keep my dogs extremely healthy.

Price

• Pet quality puppies are $1800
  (no breeding rights)
• Show quality puppies are $2200
  (no breeding rights)
• Show quality puppies slated to be shown and bred with an unlimited registration will be co-owned by me.
• Please call (734) 482-6864 so that I can learn more about you and your family.
• Many litters are sold before they are born. Therefore, I require a $300 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy for you.

• Shipping is available through Northwest Airlines out of Detroit Metro Airport.
• I live in Southeastern Michigan near I-94 and US 23. I am easy to find.

Flying Your Puppy

Because my Ypsilanti, Michigan home is close to the Detroit Metro Airport, shipping puppies out of state has not been a problem. I have found shipping puppies with Northwest Airlines to be a positive experience (they all "ooh" and "ahh" over the puppies and take very good care of them). The puppies are flown in a heated and pressurized environment. In fact, on some aircraft the crew rest-bunks are located in the lower deck cargo compartment. Your puppy could be napping right next to an off-duty crew member. Click here to learn more about flying puppies via Northwest (pdf).

Grooming Workshop

• Good advice – I’m always available for any questions that you may have. Use me as a resource for all your questions.
• Grooming – I ask that those living close enough to me, return for a grooming lesson. It is loads of fun and there are lots of things to learn. Even long time OES owners have commented on the new grooming techniques that they have learned. Grooming workshops help OES owners to learn how to care for their pets, what grooming tools are best, and how to keep up a long coat as well as how to cut the fur short for the summer. Etc.
