What is the Old Shepherd? The Old Shepherd is an English Ancient Sheepdog, one of the oldest sheepdog breeds in the UK. In the ancient villages of western England, farmers deliberately bred the resourceful and agile Old Shepherd in order to drive livestock to pasture, and the Old Shepherd was a good hand at herding cattle and sheep.
The Good Shepherd is a sturdy, compact, squarely proportioned dog with a harmonious body structure. Their back hair is thick and dense but not overly so, and they are muscular and have strong limbs. These qualities, paired with their lively, enthusiastic personality, shape a very good border collie.
The Ancient Shepherd naturally breaks its tail The Ancient Shepherd has brown and blue eyes. The ears are medium sized, the neck is long, the body is short and compact, and the hips are wider than the shoulders. It is important to note that the tail of the Ancient Shepherd is broken, so they do not have a tail that can wag naturally.
