Old English Sheepdog

The Old English Sheepdog is in fact, old! This breed originates from England where they helped farmers drive cattle and sheep to the market. Today, the big ole' pal prefers the comfort of home life and being a fluffy family pet. They have also taken many roles in television shows, movies, and popular performers at dog shows. You can't talk about an OES without talking about hair, a lot of hair! This big breed is famous for its unmistakable shaggy coat that hangs over it's eyes in a true peek-a-boo style. The woolly cutie comes in many different colours, but the most common is a white combination. The coat requires a great deal of grooming for it to look its best. They're very intelligent and can learn whatever you teach them. Underneath the shaggy coat also lurks an independent thinker with a mind of its own. Although they catch onto training quickly, they can also get bored easily. This isn't a breed that does well if left alone for a long period of time or doesn't get enough family attention. While they don't need vigorous activity,  Old English Sheepdogs are very cheerful and love playtime. Sometimes they don't know when to quit and can become rowdy, so training your pup is essential. This breed can be an excellent watchdog and will take its role protecting their family and children very serious. If their shaggy coat wasn't enough for you to fall in love, Old English Sheepdogs are witty charmers who will win you over with their personality. They’re mellow,
