About Beth
I am an avid member of the Old English Sheepdog Club of America and enjoy conformation showing and have shown them to their grand championship. I have also done agility training with my dogs. This breed is my passion and I love spending my life with them; whether that be completing our various day-to-day activities together or just cuddling up at night!
What makes Beth’s program special
I am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have produced and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to adopt one of these wonderful dogs. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included.
