About

What is a Bearded Collie?

Medium-sized herding dog with long, shaggy double coat and animated expression, known for its boisterous, charismatic personality and distinctive bouncing gait

Bearded Collie history and origins

Ancient Scottish herding breed developed to drive sheep and cattle in harsh Highland conditions, bred for hardiness, intelligence, and ability to work independently. Nearly extinct after World War II but revived through careful breeding programs. Recognized by Kennel Club in 1959 and AKC in 1977.

Prós e contras da raça Bearded Collie

O que ganha com a raça Bearded Collie

  • Função declarada no padrão: «Sheepdog & companion»
  • O padrão descreve a raça assim: «Alert, lively, self-confident and active. Steady, intelligent working dog, with no signs of nervousness or aggression»
  • Vive mais tempo do que um cão de raça indeterminada — mediana de 13.9 anos em 1144 animais, contra 12

O que tem de assumir

Characteristics

Padrão da FCI · Bearded Collie

Pelo e cor

Tal como o padrão da FCI o estabelece. Cada linha abaixo está nas palavras do próprio padrão.

Coat

Double with soft, furry and close undercoat.

Outer coat flat, harsh, strong and shaggy, free from woolliness and curl, though slight wave permissible.

Length and density of hair sufficient to provide a protective coat and to enhance shape of dog, but not enough to obscure natural lines of body.

Coat must not be trimmed in any way.

Bridge of nose sparsely covered with hair slightly longer on side just to cover lips.

From cheeks, lower lips and under chin, coat increases in length towards chest, forming typical beard

Cor

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» e «disqualifying» — preferida, admissível, indesejável e desqualificante — são as palavras da própria FCI sobre a raça, e ficam em inglês porque é assim que constam do padrão. Descrevem o que o padrão exige — não são uma avaliação de nenhum cão em concreto, nem nossa.

  • Slate grey, reddish-fawn, black, blue, all shades of grey, brown and sandy with or without white markings.
  • Never merle/dapple.
  • When white occurs it appears on foreface, as a blaze on skull, on tip of tail, on chest, legs and feet and, if round the collar, roots of white hair should not extend behind shoulder.
  • White should not appear above hocks on outside of hindlegs.
  • Slight tan markings are acceptable on eyebrows, inside ears, on cheeks, under root of tail and on legs where white joins main colour

Health guide

What to ask for in a Bearded Collie

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the Bearded Collie on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No Bearded Collie breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
