2007 National Specialty Winner

Introduction

This information has been prepared by the Old English Sheepdog Club of America Judge's Education Committee. We have attempted to promote a better understanding of our breed through written words, illustrations, and photographs.
This on-line seminar should not be your sole source of information about this breed. In-ring observation under breeder judges, ring-side mentoring with OESCA approved mentors of the breed, and hands-on examination of as many specimens of the breed as possible are necessary to gain a fuller appreciation of The Old English Sheepdog.
 
Learning about our breed is a continuing educational experience.  Material will be updated and improved upon regularly  through a committee effort.
 
The Judge's Education Committee would like to express their appreciation to the AKC Judging Research and Development Department for their assistance in this ongoing endeavor.


All of the dogs pictured in this seminar are finished champions.  Of those pictured, many are Specialty BOB, WD, WB, BOW, BOS, or Award of Merit winners.  Additionally, there are several that currently or in the past, have been Nationally ranked in the top five Old English Sheepdogs.  Some have been All-Breed BIS, Group winners or placers.  Quite a few have earned a Register of Merit with the Old English Sheepdog Club of America.  The pictures encompass the last thirty years and many have yellowed with age.   Not one dog in this seminar was anything but a lovely shade of gray and white at the time in which he or she lived and was shown.
