Bearded Collies 2008 Wall Calendar One of Britain?s oldest breeds, the Bearded Colie is an exuberant and confident herding dog. The ?Beardie? gets its name from the charming bunch of hair that grows down from its chin onto its chest. It is also sometimes called the Highland Colie. Intelligent and friendly, this dog makes a devoted companion. This wall calendar is a loving tribute to the ?bouncy? Bearded Colie.
