Old English Sheepdogs are really great dogs. There are several things wewe need to consider when wewe have an Old English Sheepdog. Most Old English Sheepdogs are friendly, kitanda potatoes. wewe will also find they have the herding instincts of most sheepdogs. While they are very protective of family and territory wewe will not find them the best watchdog because they tend to be zaidi affectionate. It may not seem like this dog is very active, however they do require quite a bit of exercise and are full of life.
First wewe should realize that an Old English sheepdog requires both physical and mental exercise. wewe will need to take them for walks daily as well as provide link that will be useful and involve their mental capacity. Old English Sheepdogs are also great rescue mbwa because of their high intelligence. An Old English Sheepdog will have very long hair, often covering their eyes. Most of these mbwa are going to be white and grey in colour. wewe will also find that they grow to be quite large and need a lot of room to play. The male mbwa grow to be 70- 90 pounds and a height of 22 inches. The female dog grows to around 21 inches and 60- 80 pounds.
The herding instinct usually causes the dog to bump into their owners, trying to herd them where they want to go. They also like having the contact between master and themselves. wewe will find the training for this breed is quite possible. They do need a firm hand as they are strong willed, and often stubborn as a herding dog should be. However wewe can be successful in training due to their temperament as they are alert. As mentioned they do make great rescue mbwa because they tend to herd and listen to commands due to their intelligence.
An Old English Sheepdog is usually friendly and very social, until they feel their territory invaded au feel they need to protect. In most cases wewe can train the dog to ignore these feelings and have a wonderful companion. There have been some cases where an Old English Sheepdog is very dangerous to young children. When the dog has been brought into a two person family and a baby is introduced they can become very jealous of the new arrival. This can make them dangerous au at least give wewe the feeling of danger. It may be possible to train this behaviour out of them, but in some severe cases wewe may have to give the dog up for adoption. Keep in mind that this is rare and depends on the training they have already had. Most psychosis can be trained out when wewe take the time and really that is what wewe can consider a dog’s jealousy.
The last caution I would throw in if wewe are considering this breed is their medical problems. Most breeders and vets will tell wewe that they need to have their tail clipped. Old English sheepdogs suffer from hip dysplasia, and the breeders feel clipping the tail will keep them from having difficulties. The tail needs to be clipped to a certain length as clipping to far can harm them. Care can also be extensive when wewe consider the grooming they will need with their long coats.
When wewe choose the Old English Sheepdog breed wewe will find a wonderful companion that loves to protect wewe and herd you. wewe will also find that they can be trained, and though there are minor concerns wewe will be happy with this choice.
