Sapphire Eyes Sheep Dogs

Sapphire Eyes Sheep Dogs, old English sheepdog, Sutherlin, OR, serves Douglas County and the Umpqua Valley near Roseburg. Tammy Gidcumb has been breeding old English sheepdog for several years, is a member of the American Kennel Club and regional herding associations, and follows recommended protocols for hip and eye screening. Puppies are born and raised indoors with daily family interaction, socialization with children and other household pets, and routine grooming introduced early. Health screening also includes annual eye exams and hip evaluations by board-certified veterinarians, and adults have access to climate-controlled indoor areas and secure outdoor runs.

Each litter receives consistent handling and introductory herding cues on nearby pastures, helping dogs develop both confidence and working aptitude. Many offspring adapt to home life with ease and go on to participate in family outings or basic agility classes. Diet is tailored to developmental needs, with high-quality kibble supplemented by fresh vegetables and occasional whole-food treats.
