I'm Ellen K., the breeder behind Signature’s Old English Sheepdogs located in Delray Beach, FL. Although I am fairly new to breeding, I am enthusiastic about ethically sharing my love for Old English Sheepdogs with the world. I have an excellent mentor and I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Old English Sheepdogs for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.
Q. & A. with Ellen
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding after talking with A breeder of 46 years … she helped me find my European female ❤️. It is my passion to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Old English Sheepdog. I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
I truly love this wonderful breed. All of my dogs are fully health-tested for hips, eyes, hearing, cardiac, thyroid, and all genetic markers. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Old English Sheepdog line. My OES are sound with excellent conformation that meet the standard.
