MALE Old English Sheepdog

Let me introduce you our Prata’s Flying the Smokey Phoenix (Phoenix). He comes from two CHIC qualified parents and he is CHIC qualified himself. Phoenix is a piece of our legacy to go on. I am proud of him. He has a good pedigree with good quality OES on it. His pedigree will lead us to some of the best OES produced globally. A long list of worldwide champions and grand champions in his background. I am honored to have produced him. Above all, he brings diversity and low COI to the OES breed. Which means healthier puppies on our next generations. 

Because he doesn't deny his genes, he has that authentic OES personality we all love. He is even tempered, gentle, sweet, loving and goofy. He loves to give us kisses, hugs... Well, I would stay here many hours describing how good he is and I would not be able to say it all. He is amazing with children and other dogs. He has one of the best personalities a dog could have. It is also important to mention that Phoenix was brought back to be part of our breeding program, because of the potential he has. He is one of the main pillars moving forward. He is part of our commitment to the betterment of the OES breed, in general. Hopefully, soon He will be an AKC Champion Dog. You can follow his points progression and the shows he is attending, down below. 

Besides being beautiful and an excellent dog to our family, Phoenix is a very healthy dog. He has got her CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) number from OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) after being submitted and approved on 9 OFA canines health screening tests, 8 of those tests are specific for the OES breed. Among those health tests, Phoenix has been tested for, you will find BAER (congenital deafness), Hips Dysplasia, Elbows Dysplasia, Eyes (CAER), Thyroid, EIC (Exercise Induced Collapse), Cardiac Evaluation, Cerebellar Degeneration, Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) and Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1). However, he carries one copy of Cerebellar Degeneration which doesn't affect him or the puppies he produces. These health tests are the primary health tests that any and all breeders should perform on their parents dog before pairing them for breeding purposes. They are recommended by the OES's parent club. Also, a good breeder should have the results published on the OFA website.
