This shouldn't be called why you shouldn't get one. It's more of a "know before you go"
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.
IT'S LIKE THEIR GIVEN THIS BREED A BAD REPUTATION.
EVERY DOG HAS SOMETHING THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND
NO PROBLEM WHERE AS OTHERS WOULDN'T LIKE.
WHAT YOU DON'T DO IS START OUT A CONVERSATION ABOUT
10 THINGS NOT TO ADOPT.
THAT MAKES THAT DOG BREED
VULNERABLE TO BEING ABUSED BY OTHERS.
PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
I LIKE THAT BREED. I WISHED I HAD ONE. IT WOULD BOTHER ME TO HAVE ONE.
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SMART DOGS.
I.HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THAT BREED.
GOD BLESS EVERY ONE THAT HAS ONE TO TAKE CARE OF.
Old English Sheepdog is a modern name for them and were not bred for herding sheep but for droving cattle on the way to Smithfield Market in London. Their tails were removed at birth to keep them cleaner on the trail and were originally known as bobtail collies. They drove the cattle through the lanes of the day until the herd was settled for the night when they would go off across the fields and catch their food before returning to the herd. The double coat was in the breed to ward against the cold at night. I have kept them since my first in 1972 in the west of England. You will never find a more loyal and loving friend.
This is my favorite breed. They’re so sweet natured.
True
My childhood dog. Hands down best dog ever 😁
The temperament of the other end of the leash should be considered BEFORE you make that sort of commitment. These people are complaining about training issues. That makes the owner the problem, not the dog.

I have a sheepdog to and he’s the best dog I’ve ever had.these people trippen
Chris cash yeah same mate best dog I ever had. Most placid, loving dog.
Same here mate. I swear no other dog liked him though. I think it's the coat. Was it the same for you?
I had an Old English Sheepdog in Las Vegas. Had her hair groomed into puppy cut during summer months and she swam in the swimming pool. Six months of the year she was in full coat. Beautiful beautiful companion.
I don’t care if he’s loud cause he is the cutest thing I ever seen!!!❤️❤️❤️
They're very quiet unless someone knocks at the door. They can get loud if they're understimulated and bored - like this one, clearly.
What are they talking about ..... best dogs on the planet !
I have an old English sheepdog and he is adorable (two years old in human years) And I live in TEXAS!!! We walk him either early in the morning or in the afternoon whenever it cools off. His name is Winston and he is very friendly!!
A lot of these are because it’s a dog
I've had 2 Old English Sheepdogs for 25 years. They are the BEST DOG I've ever owned. I always shaved them for the summer. They are the kindest gentlest dogs!
I just got one today for $350 her name is mila and she is 10 wks we live in Texas. Pray for us 😂 no but honestly she is super sweet and very calm we love her already ! I plan on keeping the hair cut short just because of the climate
I loved my old English sheep dog when I lived in the country (40 years ago). I did call her Daisy after the movie "please don't eat the daisies" (which had a sheep dog in it). Registered name: 'Shagin' Wagin' Georgey Girl'. They really are a lot of work, but I loved that dog.
I just saw this & had to chuckle after watching you two, er, three. Everything you pointed out is spot on. Oft times when I am walking Echo, my 5y.o. OES, people will either ask me "what kind of dog is that?" (uhh), DUH! and then they will tell me how they'd "love to have one". Every single time I hear this, I start giving them a laundry list of every reason why 'that wouldn't be a good idea', in hopes of dissuading them from following through on that comment. I had a partner in early 2000's who just had to have a sheepdog. I remember thinking, "oh hell no", because I knew I'd be the one ultimately parenting him. And I did... I kept Wiley after we split up. Hey, I did the work. So, I loved & parented Wiley for 13 years. After that, and the pain of losing him, I eventually adopted Echo, who is with me right now until he's lived out his life. Fully spoiled, loved, protected, understood, and just a happy goofy boy. So glad you posted this... I would've said practically the same things. For those still interesteded... COMMIT. Commit before yourself. (Be willing to carry them up & down stairs & when they not able to walk any further in their old age. Sheepdogs are rather heavy. But I did.) Peace, : )
I feel people in the comment are taking this video too seriously. They obviously love their dog very much and this video was obviously more meant as a love letter to him than any real advice for the public about OES. It's just a cute OES video, chill out!
Rocky gamer213 they have a video on why you should have an old English sheepdog. This video is so that people know exactly what they’re getting into. I’ve seen people adopt dogs they can’t take care of and have to send them back to the shelter. You have to know both sides of an animal before you bring them into your family.
Rocky gamer213 did you even watch the video? They’re just telling you the truth about having a large dog
@@justinyanga3792 omg you seem like the kinda person to get triggered over ANYTHING 😂 have you even seen their videos?
I have one and I really love it. She just had puppies and are the best thing that happened to me in this quarantine
Are you selling some I want one so badly
@@michellefernandez8121 that was the last year, I dont longer have any puppy. If you are from Mexico maybe you can join some fb groups
This sounds more like 10 reasons an old english sheepdog would be perfect for me. I want to live somewhere sold in a big house and work from home. I also need a reason to go out every day. I love grooming any animale and I love cuddling them. I honestly cannot wait until I cam get one
I have an old English sheepdog in Arizona , he does just fine. My baby doesn't make alot of noise he hardly barks and yes he does take up a lot of room but, he is the sweetest most loyal companion I wouldn't change him at all.
I had an OES. She lived to be 13. The absolute LOVE of my life. Took me 5 years to heal from the loss of her. Just now getting ready for a 2021 puppy. Thanks for this video. Your dogs antics were the same as mine. They are rascals in a good way. Lucky you guys.
My old English is 12 year's old and doing well. Changed his food to IVet for seniors and it was life changing for him. BAMBAM is acting like a puppy again since the food change. This breed is a clownish fun dog. The only problem I have is he takes the whole bed.
That adorable goofy guy is so much like my Buddy Boy Jack, that lovable, wacky, very affectionate, larger than life standard poodle. He filled my heart with love and joy and my days with drama and comedy. Best friend ever! He helped shape an era in my life and has left a big achy hollow.
I’ve currently got 4 OES’s ranging from 12wks to 9 years old. I couldn’t live without any of them my mother has been a breeder for over 25 years. I think they’re the extremely easy to train, raise, and share a life with.
I have an OES and she is such a beautiful animal she is big but is the best dog you could ever get. She doesn’t drool at all and she is such a beautiful animal ❤️❤️
best breed ever. I've had/been had by 3 during my life and I could never get another breed. I only had one that was very active and played frisbee 24/7. My third one was a couch potato and didn't want to get up until 9 and went to bed at 9. None of mine barked. I love that they are velcro dogs. I love how they attract so much attention when you take them out.I think they only have two drawbacks: expensive to buy and the grooming. they are big fluffy clowns and they make everyone smile .
i have an english sheep dog and i will never forget him, he’s so lovely
I know it’s not exactly the same but I have a sheepadoodle and she’s great.
I'm have two old English sheepdog they are best dog in the world
I have 2 and there the best your right
@@cecyhuezo7088 hi i have a question so i’ve been wanting one but im from california and they said these dogs aren’t for hot climate because of their long hair Could i have one if i made sure to take care of their long hair?
We lived in California with Wallace and he had no problem with long or short hair.
@@TenLairsDeep thank you!
@@dianatorres4540 I lived in Florida with my OES and he was fine, remember to give him lots to drink and realty is AC is everywhere.
Had one growing up as a child and now have one of my own. Love everything about my dog. Even tho your top 10 reasons why you shouldn’t get an Old English Sheep Dog are very true, you can’t help but love the flaws of this breed. Best dog I have ever had!
I have two OES mixed with a standard poodle - a sheepadoodles! I absolutely love the OES breed and I will get a pure bred one day. They are the best dogs I’ve ever had ❤️
Any way to see photos of that breed? Website?
BIG GEE the sheepadoodle Breed?
I've wanted a husky, but since I went to Liverpool for holiday I've always wanted two English sheepdog, one called Toby and one called Martha
We are having ours put to sleep tomorrow, hardest decision ever. She is a rescue we adopted twelve years ago and has been my best friend since, but her pain is to much for the medicines now, and she is pretty much helpless. I can't imagine life without her. One thing that is much bigger than her size, is her personality and love. I can't imagine life without an OES, but soon will have to. I feel like I will spend the rest of my life in tears missing her. OES are the best.
We are so so so very sorry you have to go thru this. It is one of the most difficult decisions you have to make. On one hand you want them to be around for ever and ever, but on the other hand you have to look at the quality of life they are living when nothing is helping them anymore. When we lost Farley it broke our heart so much but we knew he was in so much pain. The greatest thing is all the time that you did have with them! Once again sorry for the near future that lies ahead. We had Farley cremated and have him watching over us.
We are having Ginger cremated, it just seems like the right thing to do.
after watching this, i have a very lazy old english sheepdog. lol she loves runs with me but she will sleep the whole day away
hi i have a question so i’ve been wanting one but im from california and they said these dogs aren’t for hot climate because of their long hair Could i have one if i made sure to take care of their long hair?
@@dianatorres4540 as long as you keep up with their hair then you’ll be fine. their hair does take time and attention. daily brushing because it mattes very easily. summers where i live get pretty hot, but as long as you do regular brushing, grooming, and they live inside you’re all good. :)
@@gracen.9113 thank you so much❕
Got an English sheep dog, but watched this anyway
The best dogs ever. We have had 8! Usually 3 or 4 at once. It really is just an FYI, so no surprises! Love them forever!
I have a sheepdog and the worst part is that sheepdogs hips get stiff later on in years so you might have to put them down and it’s so sad
That is a sad reality for any large breed of dog! Sorry to hear!
I did like a year ago, rip milkshake you were a legend mate
we have to brush my English sheep dog EVERY DAY!! we can not miss a day of brushing because they matte really fast. but she is soo cute when she gets brushed because she is super fluffy!
We opted to get a Mini old English sheepdog. Best of all worlds.
I had one growing up. Had none of these issues. Amazing dogs. Only get if you can keep up with the maintenance
My mom and dad got my buddy before my oldest sister was born. He’s old so he’s not that loud or active but he does love to play with us. But we also don’t allow him on our couches or beds but he goes on the basement bed.
Our Wallace has better manners (about jumping on furniture), when we are not at our house! Our Old English Sheepdog Farley Sprocket,the OES before we had Wallace, was a man of few words (never barked).
We have six oes puppies right now and they are super active and fun! We love our oes.
I was out fishing with a friend one day and a man was pole fishing about 12ft away from me with his old english sheepdog. His dog sat completely still and quiet watching his float with him. The guy came to talk to us and the dog (named daisy, he told us) even began watching my float when I casted out.
Hey! My OES was from Ontario, Canada too! Rumbleseats though they do not breed anymore as Sue stopped breeding but, nearly ALL the great breeders in Ontario know and work with each other (it's a small club!) . Our dogs may share a lineage!
I have an old English sheep dog and he is so sweet protects everyone and loves attention
It’s been a year since my girlfriend and I bought our OES Lucas, and he is by far the best dog I’ve had, I strongly recommend to dog lovers have a Sheppie, they really carry happiness everywhere they are.
Our Old English sheepdog is the opposite 😄She is the best!The only correct thing you guys said is that OES are very expensive 🤗
Training?
To buy an OES is expensive, and to groom them is also very expensive.
I have had six Old English Sheepdogs. They are quite simply "love machines." If any of the 10 reasons your should not get an Old English turn you off -- You don't want a dog. Get a cat!
They were popular when I was a child in the 1970s. Now they're hardly ever seen. I think the fact that doodles are so popular and easy to come by also means that fewer people will go out of their way to buy an OES.
Finally, if one loves HAIR - there really are better dogs out there - Poodle & PWD for example.
I wanted an OES BADLY! but my family has allergies. Sheepadoodle was the compromise but they aren't easy to find either. They are quieter than the OES but they have the strong herding instinct that could make them a decent working dog that can run like a shepherd. Still, love that bear like shape and goofiness that the OES generally exhibits! This couple adores their OES and conversely - am envious but it makes me appreciate my doodle just that much more.
my english sheepdog smiles and gives me highfives
I thought you had to trim the hair that grows between an around the paw pads or it causes splayed toes cuz the hair gets super thick over time?
My sheepadoodle (half English sheepdog half poodle) is so nice and a sweetheart. Nothing like this video at all!!!
@Ed&Mel Maczuga just came from watching your other video "10 reason to get" which was somewhat contradicting to this video. You have a cute and organic demeanor in filming, however for content I would like to see more day in the life of OES moments. Also, keep it shorter...you will get better TH-cam statistics. I am expecting my first OES this week, which explains why I'm here. Cheers!
My sheepdog is now 1 year & 4 months and i wish i knew these reasons before because boy oh boy this is sooo true and definitely a handful.. i don’t regret him at all because he is the happiest and loving dog but definitely do your research before purchasing an OES
Thank you.
They are lovely dogs, but the information in the video is true. Sadly they usually only live to around 12 years old at the most. They can't take TOO much exercise either due to their weight. When young maybe a couple of hours a day.
Remember if they get the runs then you have to clean a lot more fur, or even have their coat trimmed which is further cost.
Usually very lovely with good temperaments.
I have had two. Would have loved to have a third but could not manage the size. They are big fluffy babies their entire lives. This only lists the characteristics of the breed. Look before you leap. But you will always love them.
Thanks for clearing that up 👌
Same I have a sheepdog he does not shed well he is really loud his name is Coleman
haha i love that name :D
Y'all are deadass walking a large, possibly almost or over 80 pound dog on a retractable leash?????
no.10 solution - give them a haircut (shave them)
no.8 solution - discipline!! tell them to get off.
Please, DON'T shave them. Just cut their hair. They have double coats of fur, the first layer and take heat from the air and cool it down, kind of like a built-in air conditioner. When you shave them, you get rid of that. When you get rid of that, they get extremely hot. But, if you just trim it then they still will get cooled off
Shaving them is such a dumb decision
I like how they are debating when trying to tell something.
You forgot to mention how much of a clown they are.. I've had three and they are the best, great balance between big, playful, and intelligent
I feel like your assessment is based on this one dog? I have had 5 OESDs (my mother bred them when I was a child)and having as many as 3 at a time. I am a professional dog groomer and still I shave mine down every 4 months as I live in Miami and more so, my 12 and 9 yr old girls are both incontinent. As for the personalities, all totally different. All great with kids and funny. The activity levels varied but none required daily walks. They can be stubborn and too will backup into your lap for back scratchies. As a groomer, I have come across a few unprovoked, aggressive Sheeodogs. They are protective, more so the females. The males are more silly/goofy. I do hope to own another one one day.
This just made me want one even more.
I’ve had old 4 English sheepdogs my entire life and none of them did much drooling
Which breeder did you say you got it from? I live in Ontario and my wife and I would love to get one. Thanks!
Tasia Hills OES
tasiahills.com/
Do they get on well with other dogs ? We have an older dog who is 4 but OES puppy is trying to dominate ?
That is a normal puppy behaviour- bless your older dog for being patient ❤️
This made me want one more!!!
You can give him to me if he was such a bad decision; he seems so sweet😍
They are pointing out the reasons why OTHERs who want an OES without making the commitment or knowing their needs react because they didn't do their homework first. They're more than 'just cute'. C'mon : )
Ive had 3 at one time. Not had any of these issues. Ive lived in cold and hot climates !!!
I had a old English sheepdog and he got hit when he was 1 I miss my baby boy so much be helped me threw so much I still cant believe he is gone it's been a year
If you’re looking to get one you can get one from Allstar Acres OES they have beautiful dogs and puppies!! And they’re so sweet!
Hey im thinking of getting one. Do you think they can live with bunnies, will be introduced since little
I believe it should be fine, especially if you are introducing him/her at a young age. We have had a cat the whole time we have had Wallace and they get along pretty good.
I raised my oes around my rabbit he loved the bunny and even groomed him and my parents had an oes that played with wild rabbits but never hurt them
A terrible tea the reply is a bit late but the good news is we did buy a old english sheep dog and they do like each other:)
Seriously you guys should make a video for people who are thinking about getting a dog in general. This video is amazing and spot on!
We have a Great Pyrenees female, Heidi who is 128 lbs at 6 years. We are looking for another breed to match with her, and understand the problems of giant breeds. Are old English considered guardians? Pyrenees are guardians, and we live in Canada in the country where we have chickens and need a dog to watch for foxes, coyotes, bears, but not to attack but confront and lead them away from our flock. Would old English be good for this duty? Your pup is beautiful btw.
They are herding dogs, so they like to keep everyone together. I have no experience with OES being a guardian type dog - but do know they get along with everyone & they are great with our chickens and other animals!
A very lovely video. You guys are so cute to watch!
He so cute I love him 😁
I have an OES and was ready to be upset! But they are the best and you know it!
Like this if you watched this video even though you already have an oes 😂
i have a beagle so they’re honestly not too loud in comparison
Well, you convinced me! Too much hassle. I love my Carolina Dog. Big but not loud and fussy.
oh i just love his singing voice
Everything about this video is true. And I love my Archie for it!
Sheepadoodles are great too. Quite similar to what they described
I only advice, when newborns, keep their tails on if possible. It helps a lot with hygiene
My dream dog🥺
I have had 3 of these, best dogs ever
If dogs have a God, it's the Bobtail. Beautiful and yet respectful, fair, devoted, loving, tolerant.
I already have one so!
I still want one. Most of the items listed my dogs do now.
TFS... I was considering one, but it would be kind of cruel to have one in Georgia. None of the other reasons was a turn-off, but I don't want to be a bad dog mom.
The howling makes me think of an elephant seal lmao
I got one it's great
He's gorgeous, love him. ❤️
My Old English one weighs 32kg .She loves people around her, even someone she met for the first time on walking.She is kind to people,especially to kids,and never bite or bark .The price was almost JP￥300,000. I paid the bleeder in YOKOHAMA and they transported her by air. we never have any regret .
That is so great!! OES are the best, worth every penny!! We got Wallace delivered by air as well.
@@TenLairsDeep Thank you for replying. One question, if you don't mind... You show Reasons "NOT" to get an Old English Sheepdog. But I feel you love O.E.S.D. I'm curious to know why you show "reason not to get ", but "reason to get" even though you love O.E.S.D.
We absolutely love OES and I think we will have one the rest of our lives. They are a handful and take a lot of responsibility especially when you have them in a long coat. So we are just highlighting the fact that they are not for everyone. There not the type of breed that you can leave at home day after day while you are at work or away from your home. They need a lot of attention and exercise. But on the other hand there are so many reasons to get an OES because they are the best!! So to answer your question we thought we would make a video of both why to and why not to for everyone on both sides of the fence, if that makes sense?
I used to have a old English sheepdog saint Bernard mix it was amazing sadly he passed 3 years ago
So sorry to hear - What an amazing mix!
I have the time to shave 1? Would that still work?
Cronk, King of Monsters! I shaved my sheepdog Molson for the last 4 years about 3-4 times a year. This saved me a ton of money (about 125$ per shave) and I should have been doing from the beginning. I would recommend it but it will take you about 4 hours to complete
A sheepdog is literally the best family dog anyone could have mine is great with small children too and they keep you company and there hilarious
He’s beautiful I love him
I loveeeeee my sheep doggg i adoreee himmm ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️he isss soo nice soo funny always hungry love playing
I have A 8mth old female and I’m madly, wildly in love with her. Her name is Roxy. I’m actually on TH-cam now watching Video’s. It’s time for her 1st cut. Whoohoo. I’m going for the Scissor cut. I also have A AD MoonPie, the same age. I wouldn’t trade either one for anything.
Mommy! Daddy! Let me get my word in!
I’m getting my second one next week
