| Hi Sherry,
So sorry to hear the news about Astro. Its always a difficult decision, but he is now safe and at a peaceful place. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. For your research, contact the Breeder Referral department at the Old English Sheepdog Club of America. You can contact Tarja Peters at oescrazy2@yahoo.com or you can send her a personal message on this forum, her address is Oesrule. www.oldenglishsheepdogclubofamerica.org For an interesting discussion of what to look for and questions to ask a breeder,please see this site from Portugal(in English) http://clientes.netvisao.pt/zbiri Please see the section on buying a puppy, the link at the bottom of the page more tips to a good puppy has questions to ask a breeder and what to look for. Best wishes! |
| I'm glad you found this place. Zahra's advice is excellent. As an experiences OES owner, I would also urge you to consider adopting one of the many wonderful sheepdogs available on www.petfinder.com. Even if you don't see one you like immediately, you should keep checking because, sadly, there are always new dogs coming online that need loving homes. That's where I found my own dear Chumley, thanks to a link posted on this forum.
Best, Valerie |
| In my experience breeders of any type of dog don't charge more for a male or a female. But your cost may depend on pet quality or show quality.
I think $500 is on the low end of the cost you will find out there. I would not be shocked if you run into the $1,000 - $1,500 range (US dollars). |
| Thank you all for your advice and help and thoughts. We had considered rescuing one, but we are in the final stages of adopting from S. Korea and we wanted to be able to raise a puppy with our son. Our son should arrive in the next 2 months and we figured we could potty train a little sheepgirl in that time (or at least set a foundation). Thank you again for your replies!

| The breeder I used to get my pup has planned parenthood. So if you pay a deposit towards a future litter, it is a total of 800 plus s/h if needed. If you choose a puppy after they are born, price goes up depending on sex, markings, eye color and so on. They also provide screened puppies for a price. |
