Counting Sheep
Meet the breeder
I'm Chris D., the breeder behind Counting Sheep located in San Bernardino County, CA. We are an extended family of hobby breeders located throughout Southern California with family in Las Vegas so we can deliver to LV as well. We only have one litter per year to 18 months as is recommended by the vet and is the law. We believe the human canine relationship is a special privilege divinely designed to help us become the best of ourselves. That said we feel this is the case, regardless of creed, color, socioeconomics, preference, identification and so on. We feel it is a divine calling to serve humanity through our pup offerings. For this reason, we do not live off of our furfamily so we can keep our adoption fees low yet our rehoming standards high. We strive to produce highly trainable, healthy Sheepadoodle puppies that can excel as active family companions. Our priority is the health and happiness of our dogs and their families, so we breed with a focus on temperament, health, and ability, as well as conformation to the breed standard. We socialize our pups with care so they will be ready to join their new families in whatever role they are needed.
