Tie-Breaker: How many Bearded Collies were registered in Sweden 2000-2010?

17-20 correct: Congratulations! You have mastered your Bearded Collie - history! But remember that there is a risk to fixate too much on only one area. Your family sees you probably as crazy. If they see you at all, you spend probably most of your time to surf at other breeders websites, BC pedigree and Facebook. When you are'nt reading all of your Beardie books of course ...

13-16 correct: You're almost there, it's just the finish and all reading old yearbooks that are missing. But you deal with your hobby with a certain distance so you are still able to function socially outside Beardie circuits.

9-12 correct:  You are pretty mediocre, you know some but you can not directly call yourself knowledgeable. Maybe you're new in the game, so knowledge will come with time. Your dogs must be well exercised, because you probably would rather spend time with them than to get knowledge in Beardie History.

5-8 correct: You can do better... You can at least give a little intreset for other breeding than your own or those that you use in breeding. One can learn both from others and of what history has to tell. Everything wasn't better in the past, but everything that has happened is not irrelevant either!

0-4 correct: Your Beardie skills are not brilliant. You probably don't even know what your own dog is named in the pedigree. Stand in the naughty corner.

Correct answers: 1-1, 2-1, 3-X, 4-1, 5-X, 6-2, 7-X, 8-1, 9-X, 10 X 11 - 2, 12-1, 13-X, 14-2, 15-2, 16-X, 17-1, 18-1 and X 19-2, 20-X and 2903.
