About old english sheepdogs
These loyal, charming dogs make excellent family pets. They are very sweet, intelligent, and love to be around people, making them ideal for home life. Old English Sheepdogs are large in size and have long, fluffy coats. As their name implies, these dogs were originally bred in England to be sheep herders but were primarily used as drovers. Today, they are more often used as companion animals than working dogs.
