Most Old English Sheepdogs are not good with young children. The herding instinct (purposely bred into them) is so strong that OES tend to be rough and sometimes aggressive with young kids at play. Therefore, we need to know if you have or plan to have young children (under age 10) in your home.
Do you have kids under age 10 living with you? Yes   No
If none at present, do you plan to have young children in your home? Yes   No
Please list ages of kids under age 10.
List any allergies of home occupants.

Would you take an OES mix? Yes   No
Would you take an obedience class? Yes   No
In order to adopt an OES from this program, it is necessary for you to have a personal interview and grooming lesson with one of our volunteers. The purpose of the interview is to acquaint you with the breed, its problems and in particular, grooming. When are you available?
