Is it free to advertise here?

Yes. A breeder profile and your litter and stud dog adverts are free. Premium profiles, featured placement and sponsored articles are optional paid extras; see pricing.

Do I need a licence to advertise puppies?

In England you need a dog breeding licence from your council if you breed three or more litters in 12 months or breed and sell dogs as a business, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own schemes. Licensed breeders show their licence number and issuing council on every advert. Puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they go to new homes.

Is my listing already here?

We add licensed breeders from councils' public registers. Search for your kennel name; if it is listed you can claim it and edit everything.

Buying an Old English Sheepdog puppy

Looking for Old English Sheepdog puppies for sale? This vulnerable native breed has had fewer than 250 RKC registrations in each of the last two years, so litters are not common and many breeders keep a waiting list. The breeders listed here show their kennel name, website, social media, location and categories, so you can draw up a shortlist and contact them yourself. When you get in touch, ask for hip, elbow and eye results for both parents and their PCD status. Ask too whether the parents have had the new MOD DNA test. Arrange to see the puppies with their mother, and be ready for questions about grooming, garden space and exercise. We are an independent directory and do not inspect breeders, so please read our buyer safety guide and make your own checks.

Health tests to ask about

The RKC Health Standard for the Old English Sheepdog lists four Good Practice points: prioritising genetic diversity, and hip, elbow and eye screening. Hip and elbow X-rays can be taken once a dog is at least one year old. Under the BVA hip scheme, each hip is scored from 0 to 53 and a lower total is better. Each elbow is graded from 0 to 3, and the higher of the two grades is the one that counts.

At Best Practice level, the RKC lists a DNA test for primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). This recessive disease stops the airways clearing mucus properly, causing sneezing, nasal discharge, coughing and repeated airway infections, and it affects fertility in males. In August 2026 the RKC recognised a DNA test for multiocular defect (MOD), a recessive condition that can affect several parts of the eye. The RKC says MOD will be added to the Health Standard and to Find a Puppy from January 2027, and it advises breeders to test before then.

The breed is in Breed Watch Category 2. Show judges are asked to watch for an excessively profuse coat and for incorrect hind conformation or poor rear movement. Health testing lowers the risk of inherited disease, but it cannot guarantee a healthy puppy.

Health tests and schemes for the Old English Sheepdog:

  • BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme (RKC Good Practice)

  • Breed Watch: Category 2 (excessively profuse coat; incorrect hind conformation and/or poor rear movement)
