Our Mission

At Shagshadow Kennel, our mission is to selectively produce and raise Old English Sheepdogs with outstanding temperament, type, and movement and to help people make the right choice in selecting an OES to be a member of their family.  We compete in conformation dog shows in the USA and Canada to check the quality of our dogs relative to the standard. Our goal is to continue to improve our line through careful selection of the best dogs and bitches for our breeding program. We have been blessed with outstanding sheepdogs that have greatly enriched our lives and with the many friends we have made through our puppies.

We enjoy discussing sheepdogs with prospective buyers and we are happy to try and answer any questions you may have concerning the breed. We work hard to find the best homes for our dogs and to ensure potential buyers are fully informed about the characteristics of the breed and the responsibilities of owning one of our pups.

You will find information on our Champions, Puppies, and general Shagshadow Kennel news on this web site. We have also included a page covering the current OES standard and one that provides useful links to other sites. Future additions planned for 2012 include a set of pages, pictures, and videos on grooming and caring for your OES.
