The Old English Sheepdog is a large, robust dog with a distinctive, long, shaggy coat and a cheerful, playful demeanor. Originally bred as a herding and working dog, this breed is known for its intelligence, loyalty, and protective nature. Despite their size, Old English Sheepdogs are gentle, affectionate, and great with children, making them excellent family pets. Their thick, double coat requires regular grooming, and they enjoy plenty of exercise, including daily walks and playtime. Old English Sheepdogs are typically easygoing but can be independent, so early training and socialization are essential.
