The Bearded Collie is a herding dog historically used by Scottish shepherds. As they are good natured, the breed is a popular family companion, working dog, and show dog. They were bred to be hardy and reliable, and able to withstand the harshest conditions and the toughest sheep. They are enthusiastic and have a bouncy nature, and to keep their long hair mat-free, regular grooming is required. A shaggy double coat covers the breed from head to tail, and beneath the coat, they are lean and angular. The facial hair frames the distinct expression, a dreamy and faraway gaze.
Bearded Collies have a withers height between 20”-22" (51-56 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 40-60 lb (18-27 kg). The Bearded Collie has an overall body length of roughly 32”-36” (81-91 cm), standing height between 26”-28” (66-71 cm), and a typical lifespan of 10-15 years.
