Previous Breed: Beagle-Harrier
The Bearded Collie or Beardie is a herding breed of dog, once used primarily by Scottish shepherds, but now mostly a popular family companion.
History
The Bearded Collie originated in Scotland as a descendent of the Polish sheepdog, which was first introduced into Scotland in the early 1500s. These dogs were bred with other herding breeds until the Bearded Collie was developed. The dog looks very similar to the Old English Sheepdog and may be related. In Scotland, the Bearded Collie was used for hundreds of years to herd flocks of sheep and cattle. The loving personality of the breed eventually led to him being kept as a family companion in addition to a working dog. By the early 20th century the breed was almost extinct but was rescued by a breeding pair in 1944. An uncommon breed, in 1967 the first reported litter was born in the United States and since then their popularity has slowly risen. In 1977, the Bearded Collie was recognized by the American Kennel Club as a member of the herding group.
Appearance and Size
The Bearded Collie is a medium sized shaggy dog. The head is broad with a short muzzle. The eyes are large and set far apart and the ears are set high, hang close to the head and are covered with long hair. The tail is long and carried low. The coat of the Bearded Collie is dense and weather resistant with a natural part. The outer coat is flat and shaggy. The under coat is soft. The color of the coat can change of the course of the dog's life. The puppy coat tends to fade to a light grey or cream color and then darkens as the dog matures. The adult dog can have a coat that is brown, black, blue or fawn with or without white markings. The adult Bearded Collie stands around 20 to 22 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 40 to 60 pounds.
Personality
Bearded Collies make excellent pets for those who are willing to accommodate their high energy level and grooming requirements. Weekly brushing is mandatory for keeping their long hair mat-free. Some Bearded Collie owners opt to keep their pets in a "puppy cut" haircut, which does reduce the need for brushing, but does not eliminate it. Bearded Collies are a very high energy breed, originally bred to work in the Scottish Highlands herding sheep. Beardies also excel at dog agility trials. A loyal and family friendly canine, the beardie can add years of pet ownership enjoyment to the home
