About Bearded Collie Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Bearded Collie, a medium sized member of the Herding Group from Scotland, was developed to drive and gather sheep and cattle and is known for its cheerful, bouncy temperament, intelligence, and people focused nature. Athletic and agile, it typically stands about 20-22 inches tall and weighs 45-55 pounds, with a shaggy, weather resistant double coat and the signature beard and eyebrows in colors such as black, blue, brown, or fawn often with white. This high energy dog thrives on daily exercise and training, and its long coat needs thorough brushing several times a week (often daily) plus periodic baths to prevent mats; it sheds lightly to moderately and is not hypoallergenic. Health considerations can include hip dysplasia, immune related issues like Addison’s disease and hypothyroidism, and occasional eye problems, so regular veterinary screening is advisable. Friendly and outgoing, Beardies make devoted family companions when given ample activity, mental stimulation, and consistent grooming.
