Bearded Collies are energetic dogs and need a good jog or a long walk with a play session. As the Bearded Collie is a herding dog, the herding instincts are rather strong. They need something to watch and keep under their control. Bearded Collies have a dense coat and can live outside in cool climates. However, they are people-oriented dogs and enjoy being with their family. Their long coat requires brushing and combing every other day.
