Woodle Activity Requirements

The Old English Sheepdog, or “Bobtail,” is a medium-sized, square-proportioned dog. They are great with children, but tend to be a bit rambunctious. They require regular exercise, but are generally not considered high-energy. Bobtails require a lot of human interaction. They are a very family-oriented dog and crave attention. They love playing games and going for walks, but they also do well in an indoor environment. When they spend a lot of time inside, they do better with a regular, structured routine.
