Old English Sheepdog fun facts

Fun Facts:

Old English Sheepdogs had their tails docked to prove their status as working dogs (they were used to drive sheep and cattle to market). This led to their age-old nickname as "Bobtail" or "Bob."

The Old English Sheepdog's bark is called "pot casse," which is French for "broken pot" because the bark sounds like a pot breaking.
