Summary
About Old English Sheepdog
The Old English Sheepdog is a large, shaggy, athletic herding breed with a dense double coat needing regular grooming or a shorter pet clip. Affectionate, clownish, and people focused, it’s intelligent but sometimes stubborn, thriving with consistent training and daily mental and physical exercise.
About Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog
Large, powerful livestock guardian from Romania’s Carpathians, with a robust build and long, dense, shaggy coat. Calm and devoted with family but reserved with strangers, it is independent, strongly territorial, needs early socialisation, firm fair training, space, and experienced ownership.
