Haverlands Old English Sheepdogs

   23rd January 2010 

  "God put hair over the sheepdog's eyes so that he could not see the  faults of those he loved!"

 I'm not quite sure where that quote came from but how true it is! 
The Old English Sheepdog is the most loving, trusting, faithful of breeds.  Happy to be your friend and companion and dedicated  protectors of those they love.
They have the uncanny knack of being able to work their way firmly into your affections...... and then TAKE OVER! 

 Here at Haverlands we aim to produce our quality bobtails with kind temperaments and love of life!  Please take the time to view our following pages and you will see just how addictive this breed really is..... on our "About Us" page you can see how we started and we tell you about our dogs.  On additional pages  we have posted photographs of our dogs, past and present and are adding pedigrees as we progress with the site.

We hope you enjoy our site !

The Drover's Bob-Tailed Collie

Nature who made you rough and grey and meek,

Reft you of dogdom's silent power to speak,

Cut off your tribal customary flag,

And left you with nothing you could wave or wag.

Yet, still unfair herself, she made you fair,

A bob-tailed beauty in a mass of hair.

With two dark eyes on which her mind she spent,

To make them tender, wise, and eloquent.
