Any person considering the purchase of an Old English Sheepdog puppy should check for the following:

1. Temperament
2. Auto-immune diseases
3. Hip dysplasia (OFA Certification)
4. Hereditary eye defects (Board certified ophthalmologist)
5. Thyroid

Advice from two responsible breeders:
From a breeder in Connecticut
And from a breeder in New York State
