MY BREED


Auggie at gate
The Old English Sheepdog

Known as The Bobtail in Britain where this breed originated about 200 years ago, the Old English Sheepdog is thought to descend from a variety of European herding breeds. It was originally developed by sheep farmers in the English country to herd and drive sheep to market. The practice of cropping the tail was started in order to identify the breed as a working dog, which made it's owner exempt from taxes.
