The Old English Sheepdog is one of the most well-recognized breeds across the world. The canine line possesses a distinctive long haired coat with a grey to blue and white coloring and has appeared in many television shows and advert campaigns. If you are interested in purchasing an authentic puppy, the following tips can help you find Old English Sheepdog breeders.

The English Sheepdog with its characteristic coat and many TV appearances was initially bred in West England to manage sheep populations, able to withstand the cold and intelligent enough to train. Such canines are herding dogs and require the appropriate exercise and training to remain good with children. Sheepdogs are exceptional pets when provided the correct structure and training.

Old English Sheepdogs have the sole responsibility of working on farms and herding sheep and will need the care and attention from their families to manage. If you wish to be the owner of a purebred puppy, it is important to find a reliable and a reputable breeder to assist in producing the relevant standards of certification. A registered breeder will deliver the healthiest bloodlines and provide puppies that are healthy and pedigreed.

All registered and reputable breeders are identified by a specific breeder number associated with the appropriate canine clubs. The AKC is one of the largest clubs available and sellers will adhere to the ethics of the association to breed and deliver puppies with a high standard of wellness. The selection of the right breeder and completion of research assists in finding the healthiest purely bred puppies.

A reliable and a reputable breeder certified with the necessary kennel club and includes the certification of each puppy. Consultation with a registered breeder can determine whether the puppies are to be sold as pets or whether new owners will receive breeding rights. If you intend on breeding, this must be discussed with your seller as specific requirements must be met and pups must represent the breed standard.

Purchasing a puppy from an authentic seller includes a heritage certificate or registration document. This piece of paper will outline the bloodline and provide an indication of each puppy's history from their parents to great grand dams and sires. While sellers who do not provide such documents may possess purebred dogs, the only way to know you are purchasing a purebred pup is with proof.

Puppies must remain registered and receive the necessary assessments by a fully qualified and an experienced veterinarian. Old English Sheepdogs have long thick coats that will have to remain properly groomed to prevent matting and ensure all vaccinations are up to date. All pups must receive a complete evaluation and a certificate detailing the procedures the vet has performed.

Old English Sheepdogs are intelligent herding animals that should be given regular exercise, grooming and attention. These dogs should remain part of a close knit family and be provided structured activities to perform to prevent poor behaviors owing to boredom and high energy levels. Call on your certified breeder and determine when puppies will be available to become part of your home.
