Old English Sheepdog vs Catahoula Leopard Dog

Old English Sheepdogs typically live 10–12 years. With regular vet checkups, a balanced diet, and proper grooming, many reach the higher end of this range.

Yes, but they need extra care. Their thick double coat makes them prone to overheating in hot Indian summers. Keep them indoors during the day, walk them in cooler hours, and consider lighter grooming styles like a “puppy cut” for comfort.

They thrive on a diet rich in lean protein, healthy fats, and joint-supporting supplements. Indian homes can combine premium kibble with boiled chicken, paneer, pumpkin, and carrots. Avoid feeding spicy food or toxic items like onions, grapes, or chocolate.
