Bearded Collie
The Bearded Collie, affectionately known as the 'Beardie', is a shaggy-coated herding dog from Scotland celebrated for its enthusiastic and bouncy personality. They are charismatic family companions that thrive on activity and mental stimulation, famously performing a 'Beardie Bounce' when excited. While their long, double coat requires significant grooming, their affectionate nature and hardy spirit make them a joy for active owners.
