Herding breeds: Bearded Collie

The Bearded Collie, affectionately called the Beardie, was developed in Scotland as a herding dog. It was developed as an independent worker, able to make decisions concerning the welfare and safety of its charges without depending on the shepherd who might be miles away. It is also one of England's oldest breeds. The Bearded Collie is also known as the Highland Collie or the Mountain Collie.
