Bearded Collie

The Bearded Collie is an ancient breed of herding dog, originating in Scotland.

Thought to have descended from the Polish Lowland Sheepdog, they were used by Scottish shepherds to herd and guard their flocks.

The breed was officially recognized by the Kennel Club in 1959, and has since become a popular family pet.

Known for their intelligence and loyalty, Bearded Collies are energetic and playful, making them great companions for active households.

With their distinctive long coats and shaggy beards, these dogs are easily recognizable and make a striking addition to any home.
