Bearded Collie
The breed is eager to learn and likes being around people. Strangers will be greeted excitedly with lots of barking but are generally given a warm reception. If left alone for too long, the Beardie could get bored, bark to itself for company, or cause other mischief. This breed needs a substantial amount of both physical and mental stimulation.

Bearded Collie
Collie is an all-inclusive term for a sheepdog. Bred in Scotland from local sheepdogs (including the Old English Sheepdog), the “Beardie” is a sturdy representative of the Herding group. There are records of Beardie-type dogs herding cattle from the Scottish Highlands to market in the 18th and 19th centuries.
