Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Beardie
A bouncing, shaggy herder with boundless good humour
Bred to drive sheep across the Scottish hills, the Bearded Collie is exuberant, friendly and always on the move. It is a joyful family dog, but the long double coat needs frequent brushing and the energy needs a real outlet.

This breed needs about 90 minutes of activity a day. Around 5 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Around 90 minutes of active exercise a day, including off-lead running and mental games. Without it the breed can become noisy, bouncy and destructive.
It is demanding. Brushing several times a week down to the skin prevents mats, and many owners add a professional groom every few months.
It is not ideal. The breed is energetic and bouncy, so a home with a garden and an owner willing to provide long daily activity suits it far better.
