Old English Sheepdog puppies for sale in New Brunswick

Breed history

The Old English Sheepdog originated in England in the late 18th to early 19th century as a drover’s and herding dog, primarily used to drive sheep and cattle to market. Its ancestors likely included a mix of British and European herding dogs. Over time, the breed gained popularity for its shaggy coat and distinctive appearance, eventually becoming a show and companion dog as well as a working breed. By the 1870s, the Old English Sheepdog was being exhibited in shows and exported to other countries, including the United States.
