Overview:
The Bearded Collie has evolved during hundreds of years to perform specialised tasks in the service of man and was first bred by sheep farmers to work the rugged ranges of the Scottish Highlands. As its working ability was all that mattered, there was no concern for accurately recording their history. It is possible that the very early origins of the Bearded Collie may be found in the Polish Lowland Sheepdog, although this connection is not documented.
Character:
This dog is high-spirited, cheerful and clever. It is independent, sociable, and active.
Temperament:
This breed gets along equally well with children, other household pets and even strangers.
Care:
This breed requires a great deal of grooming. Its hair must be brushed and combed at least twice a week and parted along the back.
Training:
Bearded Collies learn quickly and respond to a kind approach.
Activity:
This dog does not require lots of exercise, but it would prefer to be taken on long walks in the country.
