Bugaboo Old English Sheepdog

Bugaboo Old English Sheepdogs has been producing old English sheepdogs in Colorado Springs, Colorado since 1973, making it one of the longest-running programs of its kind in the country. The kennel is now carried forward by Heather and Colton Johnson, continuing a multigenerational family tradition that traces back to founding mentor Edie Shields.

The program has earned the AKC Breeder of the Year distinction twice and holds membership in the Old English Sheepdog Club of America (OESCA). Breeding for both structure and health has been a stated cornerstone of the program, with an emphasis on leaving a lasting legacy for the breed rather than simply producing dogs for the moment.

Among the kennel's most notable dogs is GCh. Bugaboo's Picture Perfect, known as Swagger, who earned Reserve Best in Show at the 2013 Westminster Kennel Club dog show, won the OESCA National Specialty that year, and finished his career as the top-winning old English sheepdog of all time with 114 Best in Shows. For those seeking old English sheepdog puppies in Colorado from a program with deep show and conformation roots, Bugaboo represents one of the most credentialed options in the state.
