Shepherd Pals

Shepherd Pals raises old English sheepdogs on a working family farm in Dryden, Virginia, situated in the Appalachian mountains of the state's southwest corner, roughly an hour northeast of Tri-Cities, Tennessee. Michaela Moore and her siblings grew up on this farm alongside sheep, goats, cattle, and other livestock, and their dogs have always played an active role in daily farm life.

The program's old English sheepdogs live with the animals full-time, putting their herding and guarding instincts to practical use on the farm's pastures. The breeding stock is AKC registered and health tested, with OFA and PennHIP evaluations confirming sound hips, elbows, and patellas, and Embark DNA testing used to screen for DM and MDR1. Puppies born on the farm are vet-checked, microchipped, vaccinated, and socialized with people of all ages before going to their new homes.

For families in Virginia and the surrounding region searching for old English sheepdog puppies from a working-farm environment, Shepherd Pals offers dogs that are equally at home in a pasture or a household. The farm also raises rough collies and livestock guardian dogs, reflecting the broader role that herding and working breeds play in the operation.
