Cheryl Tavares-Aurora Blue Old English Sheepdogs

Aurora Blue Old English Sheepdogs, based in Mechanicsville, Virginia, is Cheryl Tavares's program dedicated to the old English sheepdog, rooted in a family love for the breed that spans generations. The program traces its origins to Cheryl's late father, whose devotion to the breed led the family to their first OES, and that connection carried forward into Cheryl's own household, where she raised her twin children alongside a beloved sheepdog of her own.

Cheryl began conformation showing and breeding through that dog, building her knowledge with the guidance of experienced mentors in the breed community. Aurora Blue is situated in the metro Richmond area, making it accessible to families across central Virginia and the greater Mid-Atlantic region for anyone searching for old English sheepdog puppies in Virginia.

The program has produced AKC champions as well as dogs holding performance and herding titles across multiple venues, reflecting a commitment to versatility alongside conformation. Cheryl has been a member of the Old English Sheepdog Club of America for over a decade and currently serves on the OESCA Health and Research Committee, reflecting an active involvement in breed health at the national level. Health testing on Aurora Blue dogs has included hip evaluations, eye clearances, BAER hearing tests, and genetic screening for conditions including PCD, EIC, and MDR1.
