Disposition:
This breed is very even-tempered and loving; they are often called teddy bears because of their love for children. As they were originally bred to herd sheep, they are still known to try to herd family members, especially children, by bumping or nudging them in the direction they want them to go. Because this breed can be stubborn, training from an early age is important – as is early socialization with other dogs and people.
Activity Level:
Because the Old English Sheepdog was bred to work hard, they have a lot of energy and need a fair amount of exercise. This breed loves to play and has the energy of a puppy for most of their life, even as adults. Although they are quite active indoors, this breed would suit apartment life as long as they were given enough exercise, though they would do best with a backyard/garden.
