Bearded Collie History
Beardie Traits
The modern beardie is pretty easy to trace. Mrs
Willison acquired a beardie puppy in 1944
subsequently registered as Jeannie of Bothkennar.
After searching for a mate she acquired a dog in 1949,
registered as Bailie of Bothkennar. It is from this
Bothkennar pairing that all pedigree Bearded Collies
are descended.
Breed Characteristics:
Exuberant, alert, lively, intelligent, and self-confident.
A lean active dog, longer than it is high in an
approximate proportion of 5 to 4 with a height range of
20" to 22" and a weight range of 39lbs to 59lbs.
Should possess a double coat consisting of a harsh
strong and shaggy outer coat and a soft furry close
undercoat.
Colours of the Bearded Collie can be slate grey,
reddish-fawn, black, brown or blue.
The Bearded Collie can have white markings on
foreface, blaze on skull, tip of tails, chest legs and feet.
