Catalan Sheepdog Club of GB – Puppies.
The CSCOGB considers the health of the breed to be paramount. That includes the considered choosing of breeding partners. We are aware that a couple of unscrupulous breeders are trying to cash in on the breed’s rising popularity and are not researching the bloodlines, potentionally causing long term health problems in off-spring.
If you want to buy a Catalan Sheepdog, please ensure you choose a breeder who has carried out the relevant health tests. Responsible breeders should have their dogs tested under the following BVA Canine Health Schemes; the BVA/KC Hip Dysplasia Scheme and the BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme and have the relevant certificates
If you are in doubt about any Catalan Sheepdog pup which is being offered to you, please contact us.
The CSCOGB Objective – Breeding
We promote the considerate pairing and mating of suitable breeding partners. Through responsible breeding it is possible to reduce potential health issues, for more information visit our main health page.
Puppies
Do we sell puppies?
No. What we can do is pass on an enquiry to an approved breeder or talk to you about any concerns you might have.
We are happy to discuss general things to do with puppy health, their breeding, training and so on. Some members also have experience about the process of importing a puppy.
We are happy to talk to you about the Eye Scheme and Hip Dysplasia and advise on what to ask the breeder, what you should be given by way of paperwork and of course what the paperwork means.
