The Bearded Collie, affectionately called the “Beardie,” is a shaggy herding dog with a fun-loving spirit. With their flowing coat and joyful bounce, Beardies are known for their energy and affectionate nature. They’re happiest when given a job and included in family activities.
They need regular grooming to keep their coat free of mats and plenty of exercise to stay balanced. Training works best when it’s upbeat and engaging, as they’re clever but easily bored. If you want a lively, affectionate companion with a touch of clownish humor, the Bearded Collie will keep you smiling.
