I agree with this. I have grown up around Old English Sheepdogs - they are wonderful with children and other pets, but they can also have a fierce bark. I also love bullmastiffs, but they definitely shed more than the OES. I attached a picture of my sister's OES playing tug with one of my girls. The other one is my parents' two OES.
