The Old English Sheepdog: The Most Loyal Companion

The Basics

The Old English Sheepdog is the archetypical shaggy dog, famous for it's profuse coat and peak-a-boo hairdo, a distinctive bear-like gait, and a mellow, agreeable nature. The OES is a big, agile dog who enjoys exploring and a good romp. 

 

Temperament and Intelligence

 Easy-going and fun, Old English Sheepdogs generally love to hang out with their families. Most are laid-back, relaxed, and usually more than happy to play with children.

They’re extraordinarily smart and adaptable but are occasionally described as stubborn, and some have loud barks that sound like pots banging against each other.

Old English Sheepdogs love to hang out at home, and they’re famous for jumping fences and following kids to school. They’re happiest when their favorite people are around, and some can become irritated when not receiving enough attention.

Are They Good for Families?

 Old English Sheepdogs make fantastic companions for families with children. They’re kind, gentle, loving, and devoted to their favorite humans.

Supervising them around small children is necessary since Old English Sheepdogs are big enough to injure them unintentionally.

Grooming

 Some sources suggest that properly grooming these gorgeous dogs can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours every week. Taking them for regular grooming sessions can sometimes make things a bit less time-consuming.

Attention must be paid to their skin to ensure dirt and debris don’t get stuck and start causing problems. Their facial fur must be checked daily to ensure little bits of food are removed. Their ears (and the fur around them) also require special attention to keep ear infections at bay.

Homes with Old English Sheepdogs require frequent vacuuming due to the amount of fur the dogs leave behind.
