Dogs and All about Them
·

Then
there
is
the
Scottish
bearded,
or
Highland
Collie,
less
popular
still
with
the
flock-master,
a
hardy-looking
dog
in
outward
style,
but
soft
in
temperament,
and
many
of
them
make
better
cattle
than
sheep
dogs.
This
dog
and
the
Old
English
Sheepdog
are
much
alike
in
appearance,
but
that
the
bearded
is
a
more
racy
animal,
with
a
head
resembling
that
of
the
Dandie
Dinmont
rather
than
the
square
head
of
the
Bobtail.
The
strong-limbed
bearded
Collie
is
capable
of
getting
through
a
good
day's
work,
but
is
not
so
steady
nor
so
wise
as
the
old-fashioned
black
and
white,
or
even
the
smooth
coated
variety.
He
is
a
favourite
with
the
butcher
and
drover
who
have
sometimes
a
herd
of
troublesome
cattle
to
handle,
and
he
is
well
suited
to
rough
and
rocky
ground,
active
in
movement,
and
as
sure-footed
as
the
wild
goat.
He
can
endure
cold
and
wet
without
discomfort,
and
can
live
on
the
Highland
hills
when
others
less
sturdy
would
succumb.
In
the
standard
adopted
for
judging
the
breed,
many
points
are
given
for
good
legs
and
feet,
bone,
body,
and
coat,
while
head
and
ears
are
not
of
great
importance.
Movement,
size,
and
general
appearance
have
much
weight.
The
colour
is
varied
in
this
breed.
Cream-coloured
specimens
are
not
uncommon,
and
snow
white
with
orange
or
black
markings
may
often
be
seen,
but
the
popular
colour
is
grizzly
grey.
Unfortunately
the
coats
of
many
are
far
too
soft
and
the
undercoat
is
frequently
absent.
