(My Wonder Dogs)

Bearded Collies are not related to Lassie... The Bearded Collie is a herding dog with its origins in Scotland and Northern England. Beardies, as they are commonly known, make wonderful companions and get along well with children and other pets. They require a weekly grooming and plenty of exercise. For more information on Beardies, check out the following sites:

Fred: Fred lived a full and happy life. In the end his body was not as strong as his spirit. Fred's last day with us was July 14, 2006. He was the definitive "Wonder Dog". Here are a few recent pictures of Fred. He will always be in our hearts.
A.K.A. "Fred the Wonder Dog" (Fred T.W.D.). Fred was rescued from the Methuen MSPCA, on Memorial Day weekend in 1994. He is a Beardie mix, mostly Bearded Collie, along with one or more other (unknown) breeds. After one day with us, it was like Fred was always part of the family. A nice surprise was to find out he was obedience trained; it was amazing when he offered his response to my first tentative, "Shake?".
Calvin: A.K.A. "CH. MacPherson's Muddy Waters". Calvin is our brown-and-white purebred Bearded Collie. He was born on March 8, 1997 at 7:30a.m. (firstborn of the 8 puppy litter) and came home with us on May 2.; Calvin won his championship on 12/5/1998 at 21 months old.; He also won 1st place in American Bred Dogs at the 1998 BCCA Specialty in Massachusetts!; Calvin became a father on Nov 19, 1999. Check out his family.; If you're interested, check out his family tree (i.e., pedigree).

Bonnie: A.K.A. "MacPherson's Angel". Bonnie is one of Calvin's daughters. She is a "blue" (Slate-and-white) Bearded Collie. She was born on November 19, 1999 at 5:56a.m. Like her father, she is firstborn in an 8 puppy litter. Bonnie came home with us on January 15.
