The Bearded Collie is a herding dog that originated in Scotland in the early 1500's. The breed has high energy and a strong herding instinct which may make it difficult for city life or for families with a busy schedule. Despite the endless energy the breed seems to have, Bearded Collies make great family pets.
As a herding breed, you can expect the bearded collie to have high intelligence and will find the dog is capable of problem solving issues which, while ideal for farming, may lead to mischief if there is a lack of mental stimulation in the household. You can expect the breed to excel at training and to pick up new tricks almost effortlessly. A common complaint among owners is Bearded Collies tend to become bored and lose interest with training sessions that are too easy or predictable.
