I'm the breeder behind Walnut Ridge Farms OES located in Mc Connell’s, SC. We use Early Neurological Stimulation to better prepare our puppies for training, socializing, and brain development. We breed considering a variety of traits, including health, conformation, and temperament, color, and allergies. We emphasize the proper socialization and training of our puppies, and we strive to promote responsible dog ownership. Our puppies are F1 Sheepadoodles which creates the advantage of a large amount of genetic diversity which is linked to a lower risk of health problems. This F1 combination also provides that lovable teddy bear appearance we have all grown to love, cuddle with, and hope for. These dogs are hypoallergenic, super great for families, so lovable and easy to train Both mom and dad are both AKC registered within their breed, along with OFC health tested, embark genetic tested, with a pedigree for both.
About Chelsea
We are a family of 6 who loves all animals. We live on a small farm in South Carolina where our animals are family. I had an Old English Sheepdog as a young girl and I love everything about them. I was so excited to get one for my own family and she ended up being spoiled by all of us. We breed both purebread Old Englishdogs and Sheepadoodles. The combination of poodles and Old English sheepdogs create a very intelligent, loving, good natured puppy. They love and become very attached to their families. They are playful, but also very laid back. If you are looking for that adorable teddy bear faced pup that is super easy to train and will want always be with you, you have found your puppy.
What makes Chelsea’s program special
Our puppies are our family. We love & care for them while helping them get use to the world around them. A good dog is an acclimated dog to it’s surroundings and environment. We start Early Neurological Stimulation on day 3 with our pups which improves their stress responses later in life. We expose them to different sounds & textures & help them get use to their world around them in a loving environment.
