Bearded Collie - Perfect Family Companion
Overview
The Bearded Collie is a medium-sized breed, weighing between 40-58 pounds and standing 20-22 inches tall. Due to their abundant fur, they appear larger than they are. Known for their cheerful and friendly disposition, these dogs are not suitable as watchdogs, as they are welcoming to everyone.
Appearance
Recognized by the AKC, Bearded Collies come in coat colors like black, grey, tan, brown, or fawn with white markings. As puppies, they may or may not have these white markings, and their coat color might change or fade as they grow. Commonly seen in black with white or grey with white, they have a long and shaggy outer coat, complemented by a soft, thick undercoat. Daily brushing is essential to prevent tangling. The nickname "beardie" comes from the distinctive long, shaggy hair under their chin.
Personality and Behavior
Bearded Collies are energetic, loving, and full of life, making them excellent family pets. They thrive in the company of their family, get along well with children and other dogs, and can adapt to homes with other non-canine pets if socialized early. Enthusiastic and lively, they require ample exercise and playtime, ideally in a yard where they can run freely. It’s wise to have toys available if they are left alone for extended periods. Early training is advised due to their occasional stubbornness, though they are generally easy to train.
History and Background
Dating back over 500 years, Bearded Collies originate from Scotland and are believed to descend from the Polish sheepdog. Traditionally bred for herding sheep and cattle, their name reflects their herding capabilities. They have also been used for tracking and continue to serve as sheep-herding dogs in some regions.
Ideal Family Fit
Bearded Collies are affectionate to both family and strangers, greeting everyone with enthusiasm. They are an excellent match for active families who can meet their need for regular outdoor exercise and play. Households with children and other dogs will find the Bearded Collie a delightful addition.
