Beardies!

Bearded Collies are so cool so why don't you have a look at some facts about them!

#1. The Bearded Collie is a medium-sized, strong working dog."
#2. "The body is long and lean."
#3. "The black nose is large and square."
#4. "The medium-sized ears hang close to the head and are covered with long hair."
#5. "The eyes are wide set and are in tone with the coat color."
#6. "The tail is carried low unless the dog is excited."
#7. "They have a shaggy, waterproof, double-coat, which hangs over the entire body including the chin (hence the name "Beardie"). Beardie pups are born black, blue, brown or fawn, with or without white markings and often lighten, first fading to a light gray or cream as the dog matures. The coat color changes several times before it reaches the adult color. The final coat color and the color the coat is, is when the dog is about a year old."
#8. "The Bearded Collie has an air of cheerful, happy-go-lucky, tail-wagging humor."
#9. "They are affectionate, playful and lively, they can make a perfect companion for children."
#10. "They love to be with their people."
#11. "A Beardie who is not exercised and is left alone without anything to do will not be happy, and you may not be happy with what they may do while you are gone. If you must leave them, be sure to take them for a long jog or walk prior to leaving."
#12. "Very trainable for many activities."
#13. "Obedience training is recommended."

#18. "Weight: 40-60 pounds (18-27 kg.)"
#19. "The Bearded Collie is not recommended for apartment life. They are fairly active indoors and will do best with at least an average-sized yard. Beardies can sleep outdoors and make excellent farm dogs. They are also good in windy, rugged or wet areas since the dogs will go out in all weather conditions. It does not like to be confined and should have a place to run off of its lead. The Beardie prefers to be outdoors."
