Bobtail
Breed Profile
The Old English Sheepdog (OES) is a large breed of dog that was given life in England from early types of herding dog. Obsolete names for the breed include Shepherd’s Dog and bob-tailed sheep-dog. The nickname Bob-tail (or Bobtail) hails from how dogs of the breed traditionally had their tails positioned. Old English Sheepdogs are able to grow very long coats with fur hiding the face and eyes and do not shed unless brushed.
Temperament
The breed standards describe the ideal Old English Sheepdog as being always even tempered and calm. The Old English Sheepdog is a playful, affectionate joker who takes delight in goofing around with his family and neighborhood children. The OES is a quick learner, always eager to look for something interesting and fun to do. He’s capable of multi tasking, including herding, search and rescue.
