Welcome to Prata's Old English Sheepdog Website

       We are a christian family living in Fair Grove - Missouri. Fair Grove is located 15 minutes North of Springfield - Missouri. This is a peaceful and beautiful place where we have decided to create our family and our dogs. We love our dogs and puppies with all our hearts. We constantly try our best to improve our knowledge and care when it comes to our dogs. "How can we improve?", "What can we do better today?"... Are a few questions we constantly ask ourselves. 

        However, we always keep in mind that they are just dogs and they like to do "dog things". For that reason, we live on a five acre fenced in area and we have a fenced in dog play area, inside our property, where all our dogs just love to play and "be dogs". They chase each other, get fresh water to drink and most of the time they fall asleep under any of the many shade trees we have out there for them. Dogs have always been a passion in our lives. Every time I remember myself as a kid, there is a dog and so much love in there. Those are two treasures we deliver to our families across the country (happy tails and joy to people's heart)

          Talking a little bit more about skills and knowledge. We have learned how to professionally groom our dogs and we trim them every three weeks or as needed. Keeping in mind that mats are not cute and not fun for our fur kids, we brush our boys and girls out weekly. We are also our own dog handlers in the AKC events we participate. It is a fun thing to do with them and it helps building the bond between us and our dogs. Our dogs and puppies are family members and they live with us and our kids. For the reason, we have converted one of our house bedroom into a dog room / puppy nursery area. It is fully insulated and we keep it climate controlled all year long. Our vets are another very important part of our furry family. Therefore, we have our vets within one hour away from us and we have used them for so many years.

           We have tried to tell you the main points about us and our routine. However, it is not everything. So if you want to know even more about us, please follow "PRATA'S OES" on the social medias (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Youtube, Tik Tok...) and contact us with any further questions as well. We love hearing from different people and their diverse life stories. 

Thanks!

       As an Old English Sheepdog breeder, we are committed to breed the best dogs possible. We strive to improve our lines. Therefore, we strategically select our studs and we keep back puppies that show us good temperament, good health and nice conformation. Since we dedicate our lives to them, we are committed to provide our furry kids the best dog training possible. They are raised in our house as part of our little family, getting constant love and attention. We genetic health test all of them (males and females) with Embark Vet canine health tests for over 200 diseases that could possibly occur in a dog (including our breed specific ones). We also use OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) services for the orthopedic part of our furry friends. We follow the parents' club recommendations to make sure we are breeding healthy dogs and providing your family the best puppies possible. All results are available on this website on each of our dog's page and also on the OFA's website. Feel free to fill out our adoption form and please let us know the name of puppy you are interested in or if you are looking for a puppy from any upcoming litter.   

Thanks and have a blessed day!
