"Sheepless" in northern Oregon...

The years have gone by quickly yet slowly without an OES in my life. Am hoping, praying, crossing paws to locate a pup or a young healthy sheepy dog...any ideas; recomendations? I just jumped on this site tonie after having been away from it for many years...... red rover red rover, please send a sheepy right over. ;)
Thank you!

if you don't mind considering a Canadian breeder, suggest you contact Val Bandas (contact info at OESCA breeder referral http://www.oldenglishsheepdogclubofamer ... eat_plains - she's listed in the Great Plains region)

She just announced the arrival of a rather large litter born just hours ago, so perhaps they aren't all spoken for already. I've met the sire and he's a doll.

There are breeders closer to you if you prefer: you can use the directory to contact them. Just don't know if anyone has any litters planned. You have to ask.

Good luck!

Thank you for the info...do you know if there is any history of auto-immune disorders/other with her pups? Only reason I ask is that I thought I had names of repuatble & failry nearby breeders, only to learn "via the grapevine" that these breeder's pups had serious issues.... I know nuttin/no one/no dog is pawfect (cept for most sheepeis)....
Hon - if it's an old english sheepdog, there is autoimmune risk. It's a small gene pool, and autoimmune issues, including certain cancers, are featured pretty prominently in our breed, unfortunately.

Mind you, it's a legitimate question, and one you definitely should ask any breeder you may seriously be considering getting a puppy from.

I just got a message yesterday that Val Bandas in Saskatchewan has puppies. Her email address is peachranch@yahoo.ca

Please let me know if this works out for you. I would love one of her puppies but I am committed to one from Tasiahills already.
