Bobtail
Old English Sheepdog

important information about the breed
Country of Origin
England
General Appearance
The dog has got a strong, compact and squared body. Bobtails are well-muscled and tough - thus they spread motivation joy. Because of the fluffily, profused coat Bobtails appear thicker and heavier than they really are.
Character Bobtails are affable, balanced dogs, trustable and loyal. They don´t show signs of nervousness or agression.
Height males 61 cm (24 inch) and taller, females min. 56 cm (22 inch)
Weight males and females approx.. 29-41 kg (63-89 lbs)
Coat & Care
The coat is profuse, but not so excessive as to give the impression of the dog being overly fat, and of a good hard texture; not straight, but shaggy and free from curl. The soft and water-resistant undercoat picks up dust etc. - therefore weekly brushing and combing is important.
Colors Any shade of gray, grizzle, blue or blue merle with or without white markings or in reverse.
