Youandi Old English Sheepdog breeder in Sevenum · Netherlands

Youandi is a small-scale kennel breeding Old English Sheepdogs (bobtails), run by Inge in Sevenum, on the border of North Limburg and Brabant. Inge started with her first bobtail, Max, in 1988; the first litter was born in 1990, and the kennel now spans nine generations. She breeds an average of approximately one litter per year and focuses on health, temperament and breed-specific characteristics, with strictly selected parent dogs. The kennel is recognised as an FCI breeder and club breeder of the Dutch Old English Sheepdog Club (NLOESA). The dogs live in the house as family pets and go on holiday and weekend trips in a camper; they also take part in shows and competitions in Europe. Inge sometimes places younger breeding dogs in co-ownership with friends, so that older dogs do not have to be rehomed; breeding remains a hobby for her. Puppies are available only occasionally and go to serious prospective owners; contact is by email.
