Hello and happy 2026! We hope your year is off to a great start. Welcome to the Waggy Shaggy Tail family from Florida. You can learn more about our puppies by visiting our website directly at waggyshaggytails.my.canva.site or by going to the akc.org website. My name is Robert and my family and I are glad you are here. We are a loud, boisterous family full of love for each other and our three Old English Sheepdogs, Sassy (the third Bluebelle, and Oliver. My background with Old English Sheepdogs starts in 1966 when my parents got Sassy (the first and made her part of our Minnesota family. After having Sassy, there was no looking back, and I knew that Old English Sheepdogs would be an important part of my life. Over time, Dandy and Taffy were added to our family as well. Fast forward to early 1986, we had moved to Florida, and I was in college when I met "the one" (my future wife Of course, during our many conversations, the talk of marriage came up, and I told her that I only had three non-negotiables. First, I want kids (preferably 5 second, I want to live on a lake, and third, I want to have Old English Sheepdogs, and if she were good with that, we would be good to go! She said she was, and we were off to the races! Now here we are, forty years later, we have five children, we live on a lake, and we have had many Old English Sheepdogs over the years. Sassy the Second, Bailey Dakota, and Dixie Belle were all important and incredible parts of our family, as are Sassy the Third, Bluebell, and Oliver Bingley now. We have been and will always be an OES family, and now, because Oliver and Bluebelle have had their first litter, thirteen families will be able to adopt a new member to their clan, and begin experiencing unconditional love, joy, and companionship from one of the most lovable, kind, and spectacular breeds. Our puppies have had their dew claws removed, but have not had their tails docked. Back in the day (long ago Old English Sheepdogs were herding dogs and worked in the fields, so in order to prevent a possible injury, their tails were docked. Now, I have been around these wonderful dogs my entire life and have never met anyone who actually had them working out in the fields, corralling animals, or ever doing any other kind of activity that would warrant docking their tails. In fact, all I have ever known them to be are giant cuddly lapdogs and cushy couch potatoes. Since the AKC allows registration of an Old English Sheepdog with a full tail (but still not show or compete our puppies all keep their Waggy Shaggy Tails, which allows them to communicate great joy and excitement for you! If you are interested in adopting one of our puppies into your family, or have any questions, please reach out at 352-242-2797 and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Pricing varies based on when the puppy is adopted and what it may still need before going home with its family. Thank you for spending time looking over our listing and I hope you have a great day.
