#7 While not thought of as a guarding dog, some Old English Sheepdogs can be protective.
#8 Their bark is loud and some become nuisance barkers.
#9 Digging and chewing develop in dogs that are not exercised or mentally challenged enough.
#10 Keeping the coat in show condition is a serious commitment requiring frequent baths, coat treatments, and daily grooming as well as limiting the dog’s activities.
#11 They have a slight tendency to become roly-poly, so watch the calories.
#12 Old English Sheepdogs do best when given early socialization with both other pets and people.
