The grooming requirements of an Old English Sheepdog are the same as those of any of the non-shedding breeds. In full coat if left unkept the coat will quickly mat which will cause discomfort for the dog, more of your time to detangle or at the very least a costly grooming bill. In full coat, the Old English Sheepdog requires approximately 3-4 hours of brushing each week with the right tools. It is worth every second as there is nothing more beautiful than a fluffy Old English Sheepdog. If you don't have the time or energy, their fur can be kept short with a trip to the groomers every few months.
The Old English Sheepdog does not shed like most dogs. They do produce "dust bunnies" when in full coat. "Dust bunnies" can be kept to a minimum with regular brushings. When their fur is kept short there is little to no shedding.
