The Old English Sheepdog has its origins in the early 19th century.
It came from the Southwestern Counties of England.
Some people feel that the Scottish Bearded Collie had a important part in the making of the Old English Sheepdog.
The Sheepdog was used mainly for driving sheep and cattle to market.
Because the Sheepdog was exempt from taxes due to their working status and to prove their occupation their tails were docked leading to the custom of calling the sheepdog by the nickname "Bobtail."
The Sheepdog has a very dominant nature and will try to control you.
Weekly grooming is also very important to keep the coat in good condition.
