Are Old English Sheepdogs double coated?

Yes, Old English Sheepdogs are double-coated dogs. They have a dense, hard outer coat and a waterproof undercoat. The profuse outer coat is long and shaggy, often appearing somewhat unkempt. The undercoat provides additional insulation and warmth. Brushing several times a week is recommended to remove loose hair and prevent tangles, especially around areas like the ears, legs, and tail.
