Hifield Kennels

Hifield Kennels, run by Valerie Charmanski, breeds old English sheepdogs in Leicester, Massachusetts, a town in Worcester County in central Massachusetts about ten miles west of Worcester. Established in 1982, the program has focused on both breeding and showing the breed for over four decades.

Valerie selects breeding dogs with an emphasis on OFA-certified hips and certified eye clearances, and the kennel reports its dogs have remained free of inherited genetic diseases across many generations of careful breeding. Breeding dogs are also chosen for sound, sweet temperaments, with the goal of producing companions well suited to family life. Dogs are fed high-quality food along with nutritional supplements, and the program follows a deliberate approach to reducing environmental chemicals and pollutants in the dogs' care. Hifield is a member of the Old English Sheepdog Club of America.

For families searching for old English sheepdog puppies in Massachusetts, Hifield Kennels represents one of the longer-standing programs in the region, combining a show record with an evident commitment to health-tested, family-ready dogs.
