Meet the breeder

I'm Gabriel S., the breeder behind Prata's OES located in Fair Grove, MO. We're an Old English Sheepdog breeder who is part of the AKC bred with HEART program. With the responsibility of breeding healthy dogs, we health test them for over 200 diseases. It includes breed specific ones. We also participate in the OFA-CHIC program to make sure we provide healthy puppies.

Q. & A. with Gabriel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I grew up watching a Brazilian TV show called "Tv Colosso". The hostess of that show was called "Priscila" and she was an Old English Sheepdog. I know, right! It was actually a dog show. I remember waking up early every day to watch it. Priscila was just so charming and beautiful that I decided to learn more about OES. Now, here I am... an OES breeder living my dream every day.
  • What makes your program special?

    We mainly breed for health, temperament and conformation. We go above and beyond when it comes to breeding dogs. Our program is as transparent as possible and our results are posted publicly in the main online platforms for people to see them. Besides that, the love, attention, training and dedication we put into it, makes our dog breeding program so special.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include grizzle and white, gray and white, blue gray and white, and blue and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We recently had the pleasure of working with Gabriel at Prata OES, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, Gabriel was incredibly helpful and attentive. He took the time to discuss our family's needs, our other dog, and our lifestyle in detail. This thoughtful approach ensured that he could suggest the perfect puppy for our family. Gabriel's expertise and genuine care for both the puppies and their future families truly set him apart. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, providing us with all the information and support we needed. Our new puppy has been a wonderful addition to our family, and we owe it all to Gabriel's excellent guidance. If you're considering getting a puppy, don't think twice about trusting Prata's OES and Gabriel. Their dedication and professionalism are unmatched, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new furry family member. We love our puppy so much!!!

    Gabriel has been exceptionally good with all the help you can possibly need when it’s your first puppy. I had no clue when I was setting myself up for with a puppy. The journey pleasantly began with Gabriel making it so easy to get puppy Porthos home. I can’t be more thankful for all the support Gabriel has given me since I contacted him in February and puppy home coming day was in Feb too. It was seamless and surprisingly simple and I am very thankful for that. Before I contacted Gabriel, I was quite overwhelmed with other breeders not responding or just letting me know the puppy was adopted or sold and it was heartbreaking as you just don’t adopt any puppy you see there is so much that happens before that. Merry Christmas to Gabriel and his family. Thank you for sending Porthos to me he is such a love bug. My Christmas this year was very special with this beautiful puppy and I am very very grateful to you. Thank you!
