The First and Second World Wars contributed to the almost complete disappearance of the furry collie. At the end of 1944, the Englishwoman Mrs. Willinson, having found only one pair of typical representatives of the breed, created a nursery. According to Hubbart, which he expressed in his work “Working Dogs of the World”, it was when bearded and Russian collies were crossed that bobtails appeared. Thus began the modern development of the bearded collie.
