Searching For Your Next At Old English Sheepdog Breeders

By John Brown


People search for a loving, loyal dog when they decide to add one to their family. The Old English Sheepdog Breeders are one place to look, as these dogs are one of the most loving dogs around. These breeders specialize in this type dog, and have pedigrees you can be proud of. Though not the only way to find this dog, it is a good one, even if a little pricey.

A rescue dog is another way to get one, however it is not without concerns. Most have been abandoned, not because of personality, but because of grooming difficulties. It is also a very big dog, which the owner might not have expected when they got that cute little puppy. I has many great traits, loving and loyal, but many don't choose to keep them because they don't want to groom them, so give them up to a rescue shelter.

These dogs are very loving and very loyal, and are often attributed to herding a child to stay in an area that is appropriate. This gave them the descriptive name, "Nanny, " early on. But, as with any dog, they should not be left unattended with a child. There is no way of telling what might happen, say if the child were to hit it or get too rough.

This is a very large breed of job, with high maintenance requirements. These requirements include two needs. They need special grooming needs, and they need lots of exercise. They are not barkers, so would do well in an apartment, though if it is a small apartment, they may not do as well. All this should be considered before getting the dog, whether new or by rescue.

These dogs have many tasks at which they are diligent. They are good herders, great at performance of agility and obedience trials, and also adept at search and rescue exercises. They are very active and love to be kept busy. If not kept engaged, and left alone for long periods, they will get up to destructive mischief.

This dog has a thick, double coat, covering his very muscular build. He also has strong bones with a large rump. He has a large square head that has lots of room for a large brain that gives him great brain power and intelligence. He stands around 22 inches tall. His intelligence means he needs to be kept occupied to stay out of trouble. His eyes are brown or blue, or sometimes he has one eye of each color.

The dog has a shuffling bear walk due to its size, but is very nimble. They keep their bodies in shape with regular, directed exercise. They are great house dogs, watchful, kind, and very intelligent. They are very good with children, patient and protective. With a loud ringing bark, they make excellent watch dogs, but do not bark to excess.

It is very important to understand what you are getting into if you plan to get a rescue dog. They are usually abandoned for some reason, not usually for temperament but because of the degree of care required or their huge size. Either the owner has chosen not to care for them or can't do so, meaning they are in poor shape, often so matted they have sores on their skin. They often have to be completely shaved. There may also be fecal matter and urine in their coats, as well as infestation with fleas or other insects.
