Bearded Collie

Bearded Collies (45-55 pounds) are lively, intelligent, and affectionate, ideal for active families. They’re great with kids, though their exuberance may overwhelm toddlers. High energy demands 1-2 hours daily of exercise (herding, play); their long, shaggy coat needs frequent brushing.

Feed 2-3 cups daily of Royal Canin Medium Breed Adult Dry Dog Food, with 25% protein for their energy and coat health. Control portions to maintain fitness.

Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with space, they’re not for apartments or low-grooming owners. Training prevents bouncing behaviors. Beardies thrive with engaged, outdoorsy owners, not for sedentary or urban-only lifestyles.
