l. I am just a owner who has loved the breed forever and I like being able to share that love of OES with others. I enjoy having a couple of litters a year to love and play with. There is nothing better than getting puppy love. I take great pride in the puppies we have for adoption. They are a part of our family. I always tell everyone that gets one of the puppies that I feel that I have made the choice to breed my OES and with that choice comes responsibility. If for any reason the family that has adopted one of my puppies can not take care of it at any time in it's life then I will take the puppy/dog back and take care of it. I just want my puppies to have the best life they can possibly have and I will happily do my part in making that possible.Temperament
The breed standards describe the ideal Old English Sheepdog as never being nervous or aggressive. The New Zealand Kennel Club adds that "they are sometimes couch potatoes" and "may even try to herd children by gently bumping them.This breed's temperament can be described as intelligent, social and adaptable. The American Kennel Club adds that the breed has "a clownish energy" and "may try to herd people or other objects.
With wide open spaces being the ideal setting for an Old English Sheepdog, the breed is a natural fit in a rural setting, such as working on a farm; although they are perfectly comfortable with a suburban or urban lifestyle (with proper exercise). Their remarkable, inherent herding instincts, sense of duty, and sense of property boundaries may be nurtured and encouraged accordingly, or subdued by their owners. Old English Sheepdogs should not be deprived of the company and the warmth of people.
