Bearded Collie Breed Profile

Breed Overview

The Bearded Collie, affectionately known as the “Beardie,” is a hardy herding breed that originated in Scotland. Bred to work in rugged terrain, Bearded Collies are known for their boundless energy, intelligence, and shaggy double coats. Their cheerful and bouncy demeanor makes them excellent companions for both families and working dogs.

This breed thrives on activity and human interaction. Bearded Collies are highly trainable but can be somewhat stubborn, requiring consistent positive reinforcement and mental stimulation to maintain their focus.

Bearded Collies are considered a medium- to large-sized breed, typically weighing between 45 and 55 pounds as adults. Tracking their growth is essential, especially in the first year, to ensure healthy joint and bone development. This is particularly important because their long coats can sometimes mask weight gain or loss.

How Much Bigger Will My Bearded Collie Puppy Get?

Most Bearded Collie puppies reach about 50% of their adult weight by 4–5 months of age. They generally reach their full adult weight and height by 12 to 14 months, although they may continue to develop and gain muscle until approximately 18 months.

Rule of Thumb:

To estimate adult size, double your puppy’s weight at 16 weeks.

For instance, a Bearded Collie weighing 22 lbs at 4 months may grow to around 44–50 lbs as an adult.

Bearded Collie Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed your Beardie puppy a high-quality, large-breed puppy food until approximately 12–14 months of age.
• Meals should be divided into three meals per day until six months, then two meals daily.
• Monitor body condition regularly, especially since their thick coat can obscure weight changes.

Exercise

• Bearded Collies need daily exercise, but puppies should avoid high-impact activities like jumping until their joints mature.
• Short walks, gentle fetch, and mentally stimulating games are ideal.
• Begin early socialization and obedience training to harness their energy in a constructive manner.

Health Watch

Some growth-related concerns to monitor include:

• Hip dysplasia – While not as common as in giant breeds, it can occur.
• Autoimmune disorders – This breed has some predisposition; work closely with your vet.
• Weight control – Avoid overfeeding; excess weight can stress growing joints.
