| The Canadian Kennel Club Bearded Collie Standard
describes beardies as: "One of the oldest of the British
herding breeds, the Bearded Collie has for centuries been the Scottish hill shepherd's
dog, used to hunt and gather free-ranging sheep on the Highlands. The breed was also
popular as a cattle drover. Both jobs required a hardy constitution and intelligence,
initiative, strength, stamina, and speed."
