    Are there more working type Bearded Collies than show type?

    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 would definitely assume they were working beardies. (as opposed to the show type).

    I wouldn't assume either. I know a few people who work their show type collies.

    Yes I do like the Brambledale beardies :grin: 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.

    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.
