The Old English Sheepdog is often called the clown prince of dogs, which is a great indication of the indelible imprint he leaves on owners and breeders alike.
A large breed, adult Old English Sheepdogs reach around 21-22'' at the shoulder and weigh as much as 80 pounds. Hugely affectionate and attention-seeking, they will never be far from their owner's side. So, if personal space is high on your list of priorities, this may not be the ideal breed for you.
As long as an OES is part of the family, it doesn't matter if you live in a penthouse or a farmhouse. What does matter, though, is exercise and lots of it. Be aware, this love of human company also means that your new best friend will not make a good yard dog.
Everything about this breed is larger than life, from their abundant shaggy coat to their outgoing quirky character. They also live to around 12-years of age, so making this affable breed of dog a member of the family is a long-term commitment.
For all these reasons, knowledge of this large breed is essential before committing to welcoming one into your family.
Are you intending to go down the puppy route, or maybe offering a loving home to a rescue dog? Then the chapters of this guide will provide you with all the information you need to get the best from your big bouncy bobtail.
