[edit] The dog in Shaggy Dog (2006) is a Bearded Collie

The kind of dog in the Shaggy Dog (2006) is actually a bearded collie, not a sheepdog as stated in the wikipedia page for "The Shaggy Dog (1959 film)."

Bearded Collies are "sheep dogs" in the literal sense, as early generations of the breed were used to herd sheep and cattle. However, Beardies as a breed are not to be confused with Old English Sheepdogs (OES), a separate breed of dog. They are related genetically, and share many similar physical traits (e.g., shaggy coats, color, size). Bearded Collies are physically distinguishable from Old English Sheepdogs in that Bearies have tails, while Old English Sheepdogs do not (breeders usually dock their tails shortly after birth). Also, while both very shaggy, Beardies' coats are finer. The Sheepdog's coat is puffier. Also, the shape of an OES' head is rounder than the Beardie's.
