I'm Julie Sarnecki &., the breeder behind Pettibone Old English Sheepdogs located in Eau Claire, WI. We offer top-quality OES puppies with health clearances. Our puppies live in our house and are very much loved and cared for. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. We both show in conformation and have had many of our dogs go on to do well in Obedience, Rally, Agility, and Herding with their owners. We are mentors for the Old English Sheepdog Club of America.
Q. & A. with Julie Sarnecki
Why did you start breeding?
I found a wonderful breeder and mentor for my first OES. We have been together ever since and she is "Pettibone OES". We have a limited breeding program, as we usually only breed when we are ready for another dog ourselves.
What makes your program special?
All our breeding dogs are CHIC Certified and Champions. We both have a limited number of dogs, so they all receive the attention they demand and deserve. We are very dedicated to what we do and what we are trying to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for the Old English Sheepdog line.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
