Breed Standard
The Old English Sheepdog is a strong very muscular dog with a beautiful thick coat that when left long will cover their faces showing only the nose (my personal favor look) It takes a lot of dedication to keep the full coat free of matts but it is worth it (if you have the time). However, they are as beautiful and huggable with shorter coat commonly called puppy cut.
A little bit of History
The Old English Sheepdog as a breed is believed to have originated somewhere in the nineteenth century in England. Originally the dogs where used to drive sheep and cattle to market, and these dogs were exempt from taxes due to their working status. To prove their occupation their tails were docked, leading to their common nick name “Bob” or “Bobtail.”
