Riverbin Sheepdogs

Riverbin Sheepdogs is a breeder of Old English sheepdogs in Rougemont, NC, Durham County and the Research Triangle near Raleigh. Owner Elizabeth Willett follows recommended breed club guidelines, registers each puppy with national kennel organizations, and schedules health screenings for hips and eyes.

Puppies are born and raised in a home environment, receiving daily social contact, early training, and supervised outdoor exposure. The breeding program emphasizes gentle temperaments suited to both farm work and family companionship, and litters are planned to prioritize stability, health, and strong nerve structure.

A local veterinarian oversees vaccination schedules, and puppies transition to premium nutrition formulated for developing joints. Each dog undergoes a gentle introduction to basic herding exercises before going to its new home. Prospective owners appreciate the ongoing advice and support provided beyond the adoption process. Owners often report well-adjusted dogs that settle quickly and adapt to new surroundings with calm confidence.
