Island Bound Old English Sheepdogs
Meet the breeder
I'm Marcia S., the breeder behind Island Bound Old English Sheepdogs located in Ferndale, WA. Old English Sheepdogs have just about always been a part of my life. Call me prejudice but I think every family should have one. I breed for temperament and conformation. I am an active member in our local OES club. I show my dogs in AKC sponsored events. We have recently taken up agility for fun.
Q. & A. with Marcia
Why did you start breeding?
I had my own Old English Sheepdog and fell in love with the breed. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. This magnificent breed stole my heart from the very beginning, and I hope you fall in love with them as much as I have! I'm passionate about what I do and can't wait to connect you with your next puppy.What makes your program special?
I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Old English Sheepdog line. My dogs are my family, and I can't wait to welcome you into our community!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are gray and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
