Dog Training Sheep Rental & Sale
we know that most people that are interested in herding cannot afford or do
not have the space or the time to maintain the number of sheep needed to offer
their dogs the kind of broad range of experience they need. To help people
with their dog training we offer a number of options for sheep rental and
purchase aimed at helping you with your dog training. If you are interested in
renting or purchasing sheep please call us at 503-394-2021 for details.
Dog Broke Sheep Rental
If you have a young dog it is helpful to have sheep that behave well, that come
to you readily, that don't fight the dog etc. If you want to rent some
sheep like this we rent groups of 5 at $35 per month.
Non Dog Broke Sheep Rental
If you are at a more advanced level of training you don't want sheep that just
come to you when you send the dog, you want sheep that will make the dog work to
cover them and bring them. If you purchase sheep from an auction they often
start out this way but after a month of so they have become dog broke. We rent
groups of 5 for $35 per month and you can bring them back and exchange them for
fresh ones each month if you want.
Dog Broke Sheep Sales
Each year we take some of our lambs and tame them down so they are good for use
with young and inexperienced dogs. When we do we sell surplus dog broke
sheep from the years before or the current crop at $85 per head.
Non Dog Broke Sheep Sales
Our flock is at it's maximum size so each year as our chosen replacements
ewes reach maturity we sell of some of the older ewes. These sheep are
used to dogs but not dog broke, most have good breeding years left in them if
you choose to breed them. We sell these sheep for $60 per head.
