Bearded Collie

The Bearded Collie, or Beardie, is a herding breed of dog once used primarily by Scottish shepherds, but now mostly a popular family companion.

Bearded Collies are known for their distinctive shaggy coats and lively, friendly demeanor. Their long, flowing double coat comes in various colors, including black, blue, brown, and fawn, often with white markings. Regular grooming is essential to keep their coat free of mats and tangles, and to manage shedding. Their expressive eyes and characteristic beard give them a charming and endearing appearance.

These dogs are highly energetic and intelligent, traits that made them excellent herding dogs and now make them great companions for active families. Bearded Collies are known for their playful and affectionate nature, getting along well with children and other pets. They are quick learners and excel in various dog sports, including obedience, agility, and herding trials. Regular physical exercise and mental stimulation are essential to keep them happy and healthy. With their friendly, loyal, and lively nature, Bearded Collies make wonderful family pets who thrive on companionship and activity.
