| Colors: | Any shade of gray, grizzle, blue, blue merles with or without white markings or in reverse. |
| Coat: | The coat is profuse, but not excessive. It consists of a waterproof undercoat and a hard, shaggy outer coat that is neither straight nor curly. |
| Character: | Olde English Sheepdogs are very social dogs. Intelligent and adaptable, they train easily. |
| Temperament: | This breed gets along well with children, other dogs, and most household pets. Visitors usually receive a warm reception. |
| Care: | Its coat needs brushing or combing every other day, or it may form mats. Excessive hair around the footpads should be trimmed and the ears must be kept clean. |
| Training: | This breed requires a gentle and consistent approach. |
| Activity: | The Olde English Sheepdog needs a fair amount of exercise, but is fine if you miss a day on occasion. |
