I have decided to write this review as I have extensively researched the old English sheep dog, over that past few months and I feel I have become a bit of an expert. As a family we decided to add to it in the form of a puppy, at first I thought it would be so straight forward pick a puppy, pay for it and off you go. How wrong was I this is not the case at all.

They aren't the quietest of animals either, both Kimmi (6yrs) and Leisha (7yrs) like nothing more than letting everybody know where they are by letting rip with a round of barking, so if you want a quiet dog avoid the Old English at all means!! But that doesn't mean that they are bad pets to keep, as they do have their own personalities, heck there's nothing better for Leisha than to do than pose for the camera (it has to be seen to be believed!!), and on top of this they are an extremly loving breed, and they will ...
