OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG 



Color : Any shade of gray, grizzle or blue with or without white markings. 



Height : 24 in. 



Weight: 65 Ibs. 



This is a strong, compact dog, profusely coated, with a characteristic ambling when 

 trotting, and owns a thick-set, muscular short body, liberal bone, and a most intelligent 

 expression. The skull is capacious, squarely formed, and well covered with hair. The 

 eyes vary in color according to the shade of the dog. A "wall" or "China" eye is 

 considered typical. The small ears are carried flat to the side of his head. Many are 

 bred tailless, if otherwise they are docked close. The coat is profuse, of good hard 

 texture, not straight, but shaggy, yet free from curl. He should have plenty of 

 undercoat. 



This breed is also of very early origin and has been bred in England for some 

 hundreds of years. He is probably a relic of the early pastoral days when the wolf 

 inhabited the British Isles, from which the flocks and herds had to be protected. Some 

 authorities claim, however, that he is a descendant of the Russian Owtchar.
