Bearded Collie:
Bearded Collie commonly known as Beardie on one occasion used mainly by Scottish shepherds, though nowadays generally a well-liked family companion, bred just about exclusively for dog shows. It is hard to tell apart involving fact and legend in studying the account of the breed, although it is supposed that Kazimierz Grabski, a Polish merchant, traded a delivery of grain intended for sheep in Scotland in 1514, and transported six Polish Lowland Sheepdogs to shift the sheep. . A Scottish shepherd was consequently overwhelmed by the herding knack of the dogs and so he traded a small number of sheep for a few dogs. These were bred among the local Scottish dogs to bring into being the Bearded Collie. These were initially bred to be hard working even in the hard conditions and to intimidate the toughest herd. These dogs are intelligent and independent.
It's probable the beardie achieved its nickname of the 'bouncing beardie' as dogs would labor in thick bushes and undergrowth on the hill, and would spring up to catch view of the sheep, or for the reason that of the characteristic way the beardie confronts a obstinate ewe, barking and bouncing on its forelegs. Only a small number of beardies show "eye" while working, the majority are rather erect.
