 | | The Bearded Collie, affectionately called the Beardie, was developed in Scotland as a herding dog. |
 | | The Standard for the Bearded Collie covers the ideal size, coat, color, gait, temperament and structure, right down to the shape of the feet and the tail carriage!  To obtain a copy, contact the AKC or the Beardie Parent Club, the Bearded Collie Club of America, noted at the end of this article. |
 | | Beardies are usually active, outgoing, bouncy, affectionate creatures.  Within the normal range of temperament, they range from low-key, sweet and laid back to rowdy and bold.  Each owner should decide what will fit best with their lifestyle and inform the breeder prior to purchase, so the Perfect Pup can be matched with their family. |
