Extract from the Bearded Collie Club of Scotland page
The Bearded Collie is a Scottish herding dog with a long, shaggy coat and an exuberant, intelligent personality. Nowadays the majority of Bearded Collies are pets or show dogs, but they are also still used for herding on farms in Britain, as their style of working is particularly suited to cattle and hill sheep
--The dog underneath the coat has a very well-constructed and natural body shape, longer than it is high, with deep, long ribs and good angulation creating a real athlete, well able to go for miles over the hills or participate in agility, whatever may be required.The coat should be fairly harsh, with plenty of undercoat. The skull is broad and flat. One of the most attractive features of the Beardie is the wise, kindly expression.
