Donna Foster Gibson

Donna Foster Gibson breeds old English sheepdogs in De Soto, MO, Jefferson County and Mississippi River valley near St. Louis. Her program follows recognized health screening protocols and national club guidelines to support sound structure and temperament. Over seasons of litters, she has refined her focus on temperament and breed standard, striving for dogs that embody the old English sheepdog’s calm and affectionate nature.

Her adult dogs live in a climate-controlled barn with regular veterinary checkups and a diet formulated for optimal growth and coat health. Puppies are raised in a family environment with daily socialization, early exposure to household sights and sounds, and a spacious indoor-outdoor setup that encourages gentle play and exploration. Each puppy spends time with children and other pets to foster confidence and adaptability before joining a new home. Local owners often note her thoughtful communication and careful handovers as strengths that help new families feel prepared and supported.
