Old English Sheepdog
History and origin: Also identified as the Bobtail, the Old English Sheepdog was developed in England in the 19th century. This breed served as a guard and a cattle dog. These days, he is kept mostly as a favorite pet and friend.
Description: The Old English Sheepdog stands 21 to 24 inches at the shoulder and weighs between 60 and 90 pounds. He has a strong, wide body, a huge head, a docked tail, and an abundant shaggy, curly shedding coat with a softer undercoat. This coat, which is the most unique feature of the breed, requires every day brushing and weekly combing with a steel comb to avoid mats. He is absorbent and should be reserved dry to avoid odors. A shorter clip helps decrease grooming maintenance. The color may be gray or blue, often with white markings.
About the breed: The Old English Sheepdog is a very lovely breed. He is smart, home-loving, and gets along well with kids as long as there is no teasing or roughhousing. Loving with his family, he is doubtful of strangers and can be fairly moody at times. The Old English Sheepdog is less active than other herders. He is a stubborn breed and can be passive-resistant. The training method should be constant, specific, and never overbearing. A trainer who is too insensitive could cause nervousness and fear-aggression in this breed. Socialization must start early and will help boost the dog’s confidence. Spoiling may lower his self-confidence and support obnoxious, nippy manners. The Old English Sheepdog may show dog-aggression and may want to pursue cars, bikes, or joggers. He is not appropriate for cramped residence and will bark and turn into destructive if left unaccompanied for long periods. Although not very energetic, he does need daily work out in order for him to stay fit.
