About the Bearded Collie

Very devoted pets, they are friendly and playful and good with children. Most Bearded Collies are active and intelligent and easy to train. Excelling at competition obedience, agility work, and herding they make wonderful show dogs. They respond well to consistent, firm but not overbearing, training, though they can be sensitive and mildly stubborn. “Come” may be the hardest command to teach them as they are bred for herding. They love to chase things, cars, bikes, joggers, etc. and while they are very reliable with children they will chase them, nipping at the heels. Children should not play chasing games with this animal.
