The old english sheepdog was bred for sheep herding in England but is now more commonly bred as family pets. The old english sheepdog is an energetic, intelligent, and affectionate breed of dog. However, the old english sheepdog is not a low-maintenance dog. The english sheepdog needs a lot of grooming to keep its long hair looking good. You can cut your old english sheepdog’s hair short to make grooming easier, but don’t cut it too short around the eyes because english sheepdogs tend to get cataracts and they need the hair around their eyes to protect them. You should also remember to trim the hair on the bottom of your old english sheepdog’s feet to keep it from getting too matted. Having matted hair on their feet can be very uncomfortable for your old english sheepdog. A sheepdog’s coat is also easily matted if not properly groom, so short hair is better for the lazy old english sheepdog owner.

Old English Sheepdog Puppies

Old english sheepdog puppies look very different to full grown old english sheepdogs. Old english sheepdog puppies have a short black and white coat and a long tail.

In some countries, tail cropping is illegal, but dog shows require that the dogs have their tails cut off for aesthetic reasons. As they mature, old english sheepdog puppies lose their short black and white coats, which are replaces by their characteristic shaggy coat.
