Correspondingly, should you shave a sheep dog?A–The deciding factor is whether you`re able to keep your dog well groomed. The Old English sheep dog is a breed that requires a tremendous amount of grooming. If you`re able to keep his coat well combed out and thus free from mats and snarls, then I don`t see any need for either shaving the dog or cutting his hair.Secondly, how often should I bathe my Old English Sheepdog? Washing we recommend no more than once each 6-8 weeks and if your Old English Sheepdog is generally a clean dog and avoids smelly substances, washing can be every 8-10 weeks. Similarly, it is asked, can you shave a Komondor? The hair of the Komondor is never brushed nor combed, as this would make it impossible to form the curls required for it to cord. The hair on the face should not be shaved, the hair does not and should not irritate their eyes.What age is an old English sheepdog fully grown?These are fairly slow maturing dogs, reaching adult height by about one year of age but not filling out totally until two or three years. Many Old English sheepdogs live to 12 or 14 years of age.
