BREED: Old English Sheepdog
|
|
|
Breed Description:
OES are large dogs, with a combination of various shades of grey (or black depending on the age of the dog) and white markings. Brown is not found naturally in the coat (although some coats might "sunbleach" on the top if the dog has been left outside. The body's of the dog are generally dark sometimes with spashes of white, with white on the heads and feet.
In the USA tails are bobbed at the age of less than one week, although we have seen some BYB dogs with tails.
They are generally a compact, muscular dog. They stand about 22-25" high at the withers and can weigh anywhere from 50# to 100# depending on the sex and general build of the dog.
OES can have either two brown eyes, or two blue eyes, or one of each color.

Details about "DO YOU ACCEPT" responses:
We can often find homes for what we call "Mostlies". These are dogs that although they obviously are not pure Old English Sheepdog, look enough like a sheepdog to satisfy the people who come to us for a dog.
Every dog is considered on an individual basis.
