Create the irresistible “McDuff” the Old English Sheep Dog with the pattern.

He is cuddly, gentle, and makes you want to hug and cuddle him. He is about four inches tall and is about seven inches from nose to tail.

Old English Sheep Dogs are intelligent even though they may not appear to be at first sight. They get along well with stranger, children and other pets. This often gives them the reputation of being the “babysitter” or “Nanny.” Sheep Dogs are bubbly and playful, requiring lots of mental and physical exercise.

Sheep Dogs are herding dogs and have been known to herd livestock as well as family members. They will nudge (not nip or bite) the family member away from the hazard or danger. They are gentle with both humans and other animals.
