😂😂😂😂

At least she did not had separation anxiety.

Killing me softly with your soap, killing me softly

@@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648 lol! Now that's all I'm going to think when I hear that song 😁😂

I wonder if the bangs work like horse blinders. "I can't see what you're doing, so I'm not going to worry about it."

Definitely ! @Girl with the dogs - can we test this theory please? =D

lol this channel has me settled on the fact that I will never own a husky

I wish my old English sheepdog was as calm as Roxie! I’ll tell you first hand that they can be calm at home but at the dog park they’re crazy runners and chasers due to their herding instinct

Mine is not calm AT ALL

I have a sheepadoodle. She is so chill. Everyone has the same question: has she always been this calm? Yup. Since she was a puppy she just sits and watches the world. She's 2 years and 3 months old.

I've had 5 sheepdogs throughout my life. Absolutely the best temperament. Only downside is grooming costs. I'd love to find a sheepadoodle. I'm looking for my last dog.

Our OES is super chill. Very calm for the most part. She does get a little barky when excited. And very very attached to her people. She’s 2 and never runs off from her people like our last high energy dog (catahoula leopard dog). She has to be wherever we are. But her coat does take daily brushing and regular trimming of paws and bottom. We trim her down a couple times a year to stay cooler... and have less brushing.

❤

Yes, I was thinking the same thing…..this lady seems to know exactly what she’s doing!!👍😊

I agree!

Or it’s just naturally a calm and gentle breed of dog 🤦🏻‍♂️

Total trust.

Ours is calm. She’s been getting ‘groomed’ since a puppy. They learn that it’s just a regular thing! Sometimes she gets tired of being on the grooming table.. she knows what ‘let’s go fix your ponytail’ means and trots to the grooming table every morning.

Dogs loves sitting in laps. Even the 100 pound ones.

Did they call Skip a Dulux dog? (That’s what I still call them)

@@ms-corleone I was just about to say this! 😂 I feel like a lot of people in the UK grow up without ever actually knowing the breed name, it's just the Dulux dog. My mum still calls them that, she'll tell me "I saw a big Dulux dog in town today!"

@@ms-corleone Yes! Always a Dulux dog. I had an almost lifesize stuffed toy one as a small child, it was bigger than me! I called it 'Nana' after the dog in Peter Pan!

@@ms-corleone Of course.

I love your work the dogs are wonderful I love dogs I'm a self-taught groomer and I work from home as well retired had to find something to do

OES’s are definitely NOT for everyone!!

I think she has pups right now

the only thing that would drive me crazy is not being able to see. there was so much hair in her eyes. 🤣

@@locabynature that's actually for a reason growing up I had an old English sheepdog named Jack and that breed has sensitive eyes to sunlight so it's best to leave the hair over their eyes a bit long like sunglasses kind of they can actually see remarkably well

@@sydneydukes1053 oh cool. I didn't know that. thanks 🙂

@@locabynature you're welcome 🙂

She’s a perfect young lady 🥰🥰

Are they really as stubborn as people claim?

@Nil-tz6gy They're not as eager-to-please as a lot of other herding breeds, but they're definitely not stubborn like a bloodhound or beagle. They tend to be very smart and very patient, and they like to take a bit to figure out new things, rather than charging in or running away immediately. This might be because they can't see much, on account of the fluf. Consider the blanket test, what was, for a long time, the standard test for doggie intelligence. You throw a blanket over a dog, and see how long it takes for them to pull it off. Most dogs try to pull the blanket off right away, but an OES probably won't. They might look around a bit, try to figure out what is going on, listen to the humans laughing at them, and so on, before trying to escape. Or, if they're not bothered, they may just lay there, because it really isn't that much heavier than their natural coat. They may even realize that this is funny and start playing. There's a lot of variety in their personality.

The Bobtail is the only sheepdog that looks like a sheep😁

After hearing that they’re good with families, I’m thinking of getting one in the future.

When you bath an old english you see this big floofy dog transform into a really slim, thin legged thing.

@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin I'd highly recommend it! My family got an OES when I was two, so I grew up with one my whole childhood. She was the best, most loving dog ever!

They can be ‘herdy’ to children. And ours was pretty nippy as a puppy. She’s 2 now and seems to be past that. But very attached to their people!!

@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin late, but do a lot of research.

It is

Sheepdog and poodles are the few dogs where you can use just their coat in spinning (For cats it is Norwegian forrest and the siberian)

@@Burning_Dwarf a chum of mine spins dog fur with sheep's wool. She uses a number of dog breeds, as her husband is a veterinarian. The sheep's fleece stabilizes the dog fur for a lovely yarn, which she can then knit.

As a child I worked for a groomer who spun beautiful yarn and wove shawls from some dogs fur, which she usually sold to the owner. I didn’t know enough at the time to ask if only some breeds made good yarn. She was a true ‘country’ woman, passed away many years ago.

Actually, it does (not all breeds -- those with short fur don't work). I'm a Spinner/Weaver/Dyer, and I've used my dog's fur for spinning and weaving. Any breed that has a nice long undercoat works very well. As someone said below, it works better mixed with wool for better stability.

@The Passionate Dahlia Well actually it was the fairies fault. But when we got bored we used to beat him with rolls of cash. The simple life of the leonberger owner 😌

every Husky in existence : I'll pretend I didn't saw that

Also every Husky: DEAFENING YELLING

Huskies don‘t take notes, they produce them.

@@Fluffisnoterm classic! 😂

Definitely. That much matting must have been getting pretty uncomfortable.

Oh yeah, matting is no joke. I think people don’t understand how painful it can be for the animal.

She'll be back when she looks exactly like at the beginning. Most owners have a length tolerance and will let them go as long as they can without a groom.

@@YIKESMF unfortunately you’re right. My friend is a groomer and sees that situation all too often. One day after she recommended the dog come back in a certain time frame the next appointment they didn’t come back for her. My friend adopted her and the people tried to get her back but because they technically abandoned the poor baby they failed and weren’t allowed to adopt another animal from any shelter or humane society.

@@lonafellows7719 Bravo.

And the fact that she was still chill when that happened! She was like, muh toes..... yep. Get in there too....

I have a poodle that also needs daily combing. But between the toes, it turns out he matted too. Gee.. This is because he must be part cat, grooms himself at top of his feet and paws. I had him in a summer cut at the groomers, and i was shown some dreads between his toes. Gosh. Nowadays i check daily while i am combing his legs and feet.

@ Mbele Badawi. Great minds think alike! I made comment before reading other's; said almost same as you did!

Good for you for working on this fear. Its very difficult.

Lord now I'm picturing her swinging from a chandelier. 🐩

Hard question. Maybe share this channel with them as a great channel for dog lovers and hope they take a hint? Or casually mention that you’ve seen an article or video about matting and how to deal with it. Many dog owners love their dogs more than they know how to care for them, and a gentle suggestion goes farther than criticism. Good luck. Sounds like the dog is lucky you care for her and notice.

If someone's not taking good enough care of their animals (or people under their custody for that matter) you ALWAYS do something about it IMMEDIATELY

Sometimes the dog owner is a loving person who is elder or disabled and don´t have the energy to comb the dog weekly; Don´t be so harsh.

@@tsz5868 yes true but 90% of the time that’s not the case

So I’m a certified vet assistant and when vets have a dog that comes in looking rather…not well we can’t do much. We have to try and put the pieces together with what the owner says, we give them options to choose from on how they want to tackle whatever their animal is suffering with. I know this may not be exactly what a groomer does but it’s a bit similar (I would think), they’re not OUR dogs so we can’t force anyone into doing anything.

yeah!

In the 80s, Paul McCartney released a live album called "Paul Is Live" and on the cover was Ace, a relative of Martha's. In the 90s, when the three surviving members of the Beatles reunited create new music, the image of a running Old English Sheepdog appear in the music video of "Free As A Bird".

Right? She must've felt so light with all that matting removed.
