An Old English Sheepdog is a
breed of
dog formerly used for
herding
livestock,
and now primarily kept as a
pet. They are best
known for their shaggy grey and white
fur which also covers
their face, including their eyes, which leads some casual observers to wonder
how they can see.
Appearance
Males generally weigh 70 to 100 pounds although some can get up to 100 pounds
(45 kg); females, 60 to 80 pounds. They stand around 22 inches at the
withers.
Their long coats can be any shade of gray, grizzle, blue, or blue
merle, with optional white markings. The
undercoat
is water resistant. The Old English Sheepdog's abundant coat is an effective
insulator in both hot and cold weather.
Temperament
This breed is intelligent, funny, social, and adaptable. It generally gets
along well with children, other dogs, other pets, and visitors. Like all herding
breeds, it requires plenty of exercise, both mental and physical.
Care
The long coat requires thorough brushing at least weekly, and the long hair
around the pads of the feet can form mats if it isn't kept trimmed.
Some people save their Old English Sheepdog's shed hairs at
moulting and have
spun it
into yarn.
