Making the decision to get a puppy takes time and once the decision has been made it is natural to want to get that puppy as soon as possible. However you may have to be patient as puppies aren’t always available and it is important that you go for the puppy that is right for you and not just the first one that comes along.
Sadly there are unscrupulous breeders out there leading to puppies being sold with health and/or temperament issues. So we would always recommend that you contact approved breeders. The Kennel Club hold a list of breeders that subscribe to their accreditation scheme. Not all breeders participate in this scheme and this is not an indication that they are not a recommended breeder. Likewise some of the listed breeders may not be members of the SCBCC or Bearded Collie Club and so not adhere to the Clubs’ more stringent Code of Ethics. If in doubt please contact the Clubs for confirmation
Adverts on puppy websites are unlikely to be from reputable Beardie breeders, so be wary!
We no longer hold a list of breeders, but are always delighted to offer advice especially if you have not purchased a puppy before. It is important that you know what questions to ask and what to look for when you go to see a puppy, and also what questions you can expect a breeder to be asking of you – a good breeder will be very particular as to who they will let have one of their puppies, so don’t be offended if you’re quizzed quite hard! We can also possibly put you in touch with breeders expecting a litter in the future.
Note: at present we do not have details of any litters

We do not recommend particular puppies or breeders to individuals, and purchasers should satisfy themselves that the puppy is exactly what they are looking for. You should visit the puppies with their mother at least once and make sure that you receive a diet sheet, details of any inoculations and worming, pedigree and full care instructions from the breeder. A good breeder will also be contactable for help and advice.
