Consider competing with your OES in any number of performance events, from agility to conformation to herding to tracking. The second winner was Sir Lancelot of Barvan Dudley in The three-year-old was from Ontario, Canada and was best in show in his native country 20 times. Now your OES can actually be a help in the kitchen, at least when his breed image is printed on this witty oven mitt and pot holder set. It may not be quite as fluffy as your OES, but this robe is almost as snuggly.
Light and warm, the robe has two patch pockets. Even better, it sports an embroidered image of your favorite breed. Compare Breeds Compare up to 5 different breeds side by side.

Clubs Offering: Training Classes. Jade, Whether or not Bobtails can see through their fall is a topic that comes up here and on other OES forums and lists quite frequently.
It is also a topic that can result in a "heated debate". Indeed my very first post here was in responce to the same question you have asked. The Bobtail fall is essentially a loose collection of vertical "threads" without the horizontal threads to bind them together and effectively double the optical density. Hence if you do try the experiment it is twice as limiting as your Bobtails properly brushed fall.
When all is said and done I believe that the evidence presented strongly indicates that they can see and that their tendency to run into things is more a result of them keying on motion and possibly being far sighted. You must however review your and your dog's situation and do what is best for the two of you. Thanks and Cheers Carl.
Carl, please accept my apologies for my rather flip statement. Your knowledge and opinion is above question or reproach, my rather plebeian statement was made from my own limited experience. If a dog is very active outdoors in an area where there are brambles, burrs and thistles then the dog's parents will need to be more diligent in keeping the fall properly groomed, otherwise it needs to be bound in a hairtie or elastic of some sort. As with virtualy every aspect of OES husbandry, every Bobtail parent needs to review their specific conditions and make appropriate choices in the dog's best interests.
Michele and my boys don't run in brambled areas, we somehow make the time to ensure they are always well groomed so our three can see through their falls. Other peoples' situations may not permit this so they need to do what "works" for them. Ok I admit Dawn doesn't have much of a fall yet makes it a lot esier for a few more months - I hope for months anyway:!
My emphasis was that they can see given the chance, no criticism of anyone or their situation in specific. Writings of that time refer to a "drovers dog" which was used primarily for driving sheep and cattle to market, and it is speculated that these drover's dogs were exempt from taxes due to their working status. To prove their occupation, their tails were docked Since this dog has been used more for driving than for herding, the lack of a tail to serve as a rudder, so to speak, has in no way affected its ability to work with heavier kinds of sheep or cattle.
The Old English Sheepdog was first promoted in the U. Wade in the late 's, and by the turn of the century, five of the ten wealthiest American families--the Morgans, Vanderbilts, Goulds, Harrisons and Guggenheims--all owned, bred and exhibited the Old English Sheepdog.
In fact, the social prominence and importance of the owners and spectators at the Old English ring in the Westminster Show in New York prompted the show superintendent to discreetly advise the judge to "take plenty of time; the dogs in the ring are the property of some of our leading Americans". It should be noted here, that these prominent families also had kennel managers and staff to care for and groom their OES!!!!! Champion "Elkington Squire". As his name appears in so many of the present-day pedigrees, it may interest readers to see a photograph of him.
