The Beardie

Origins
It is said that the Bearded Collie breed was brought in the Scottish regions by a polish sheep merchant named Kazimierz Grabski. The breed was founded when Mrs G. Olive Willison received a Bearded Collie instead of a Shetland Sheepdog. She wanted to start breeding and she found a mate for it, a gray dog named David. Thus, this breed came to existence and flourished through the years. They are also called the Beardie breed, and these dogs were used to herd sheep and cattle. Now they are most exclusively used for dog shows.
