Bearded Collie
Bearded Collie
Althoughthe exact origin of the Bearded Collie is not known for sure, it is estimated that this dog probably originated from one of two breeds: the Lowland Polish Sheepdog or the Magyar Komondor. We do know for certain, by specific records, that two Lowland Polish Sheepdogs made their way to Scotland when Polish traders brought the dogs there sometime during the year of 1514.
While it is true that many dogs were drawn up in artwork that resembled the Bearded Collie in paintings, dating back to the 18th century, solid evidence of the breed description did not show up until sometime during the early 19th century, at the time it was officially published.

Bearded Collie dogs were hard working dogs that herded sheep and drove cattle through rough terrain. They were tough and seemingly tireless during these long journeys. Its job as a dependable herder lasted for quite some time in Scotland until soon enough, after the Victoria era, Bearded Collie dogs soon gained favor as a show dog.
After World War I was over, the Bearded Collie was valued once again for it's hard work as a herding dog. They became just as needed for herding after the war as they were back during the 18th century. Eventually, breeders who had interest in showing the Bearded Collie brought some of the dogs to England and America and the breed was officially recognized by the AKC in 1977.
