 Reader's Comments on this Breed
   

From Fern, Wakefield
The OES is a big lovable bear of a dog: Easygoing, doesn't shed but requires a weekly brushing. We have had two, our oldest is 13 and we are getting a new puppy. Love the breed. It is not a barker or digger, it just loves to hang with the family and play.
