Old English Sheepdogs
The Old English Sheepdog emerged out of the drovers used to manage and protect sheep and cattle in the English countryside and drive them to market. The Old English evolved as a large, hardy dog that could withstand the harsh climate of the English countryside and would not be intimidated by the well-horned sheep it was guarding or the wolves it was guarding against. Its thick, insulated double coat not only protected it during warm summers and cold, wet winters, but also gave it a woolly, sheeplike appearance that helped it earn its charges’ trust.
Size and Average Life Span
Females average 22 in. tall and between 60-85 lbs. Males average 23 in. and weigh approximately 80-100. Old English Sheepdogs average 10-12 years.
Temperament
Old English Sheepdogs are loyal family dogs who adore their people and wand to be with them as much as possible. They make excellent watch dogs as they are quick to sound the alarm that someone is approaching. Sheepdogs are great with kids, patient and kind, and always open for romping and playing in the yard. They make an excellent companion for experienced dog owners with active lifestyles.
Grooming
Grooming an OES can be quite time consuming if choosing to keep the coat long and “show ready”. A good estimate of 3-4 hours a week is suggested. However, OES’s may be body clipped for more manageable care.
