The Bearded Collie is not a that you should neglect when it comes to play and attention. The Bearded Collie can get easily bored and this can lead to destructive behavior. These dogs have a sweet nature, but without proper socialization can become timid. Some Bearded Collies can be very independent and stubborn, so this should be taken into consideration when training.

 The Bearded Collie Dog
 The Bearded Collie or Beardie is shaggy-coated all over, and even has hair under its chin, which explains the name. It has a short muzzle, a broad skull, and large teeth. It carries its long tail down low and wags it high when its excited. This breed developed from the Polish Lowland Sheep dog. Some lines of this breed are known for their coat that fades in the first year from birth then turns back to the color that’s almost as dark as the color they’re born with.
 
 Bearded Collie Skills
 Around the 18th century, the breed was used to drive cattle and herd sheep. It then slowly gained popularity in

the show ring after the Victorian period, though became strictly work again after the First World War. The Bearded Collie eventually found its way to England and America, where it became a favored show dog, and better trained for herding trials, though it still remains a skilled herding dog.
 
 Bearded Collie Personality
 The Beardie is a feisty, enthusiastic breed, that is also funny, intelligent, biddable, and yet a little independent. It is an ideal for children who can keep up with its boisterous ways. It is highly trainable, though it must not be left by itself with nothing to do, as it needs a lot of human interaction, as well as consistent training to improve its obedience. This breed will also try to round up people and other animals by nipping at their heels.
 
 Bearded Collie Exercise Needs
 This breed will be happy and well exercised with a herding job. Otherwise, it needs a good daily workout, possibly a rotation between extended walks, boisterous play sessions, and brisk jogging trips.
 
 Bearded Collie Dog Living Conditions
 The Bearded Collie prefers to live outdoors in temperate to cool climates, as it is amenable to going out in any weather condition. This does well as a farm dog, since it does not like to be tied down all the time and needs an open area for running off leash. However, as a pet, it will also need to spend time indoors with its owners.
 
 Bearded Collie Dog Grooming Requirements
 The Beardie s coat tends to mat or get tangled, thus thorough daily or at least thrice-weekly brushing (more when shedding) is essential. Note that the tangles are easier to smooth out when damp. The undercoat should be checked regularly for ticks.
 
 Bearded Collie Health Issues
 Bearded Collies are healthy in general, though hip dysplasia, cataracts and epilepsy have been observed previously in this breed.
