If an advert says 'parents both actively working on sheep and cattle farm' would you assume these are more the working type Bearded Collie than the show type?
I wouldnt just assume, as alot of people that show still work their dogs in various activities if intrested I would ask..
I would think it's more than likely, but you never know! Just been looking at this website funnily enough, gorgeous gorgeous dogs!
Yes I do like the Brambledale beardies I prefer the working type to the show type. They have a lovely video on the site that I watched yesterday
Yes I think that would be fair judgement to make. All beardies can work but some are better than others. There are beardies in the show ring who also working on farms etc. Many do things like agility.
You can check with breeder. If you need more help or advice or can contact one of the breed clubs Ther Beardies Collie Club SCBCC Eastern Beardies Friendly beardies All access able on the internet
There are often litters of working beardies in the Farmers Guardian, and even some part trained, or trained dogs, if you are after one who will work sheep.
