Rome

Rome is one of our quiet, laid back puppies. He watches and assess before joining in with his siblings. He absolutely loves being held and cuddled. His color will fade out to gray with white markings as he ages. Check out our other postings for available litter mates! We are a very small family breeder. Our dogs are our pets and family first and live in our home with us. We currently have 4 purebred Old English Sheepdogs and 1 purebred Poodle. We have just a handful of litters each year of purebred Old English Sheepdog puppies and Sheepadoodle puppies. Our puppies are different than others in the best possible ways! All puppies are born and raised in our home as if they were our own. (They are never left outdoors in a shed or garage as many breeders do.) We try our very best to set them up for successful and enjoyable lives in the real world. We start a program with them at 3 days old in hopes of giving them the best start to life! We do ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) and ESI (Early Scent Introduction). Puppies are handled and given individual attention every day. We start “potty training” as a group at 5 weeks old. This gives puppies a great start in understanding the concept of going outside to potty. They are used to baths, hair dryer, being groomed and having their nails done. Our puppies go to our vet at 3 days old to have their dew claws removed professionally. They have a full vet exam and first vaccines at 7 weeks old and if any puppies are still with us after the 8 week go home mark they get age appropriate vet care and vaccine updates. We do not over vaccinate or over worm. We give wormer at 2 weeks old and 6 weeks old as protocol, then take fecal samples to the vet to ensure puppies are clear. Our puppies are well socialized, easy going and tend to cope with change, noise, commotion extremely well. They are playful and fun, but also settle right in for snuggles and love! We do want our puppy buyers to have proper expectations when taking puppies home. Even though we think all of our puppies are perfect, they are still puppies—just little babies! They will require time to adjust to a new home, rules, expectations and routines. It takes dedication, time, love and proper training to shape a great puppy into an amazing dog!!!
