did he look pretty much like this as a baby? http://pics.hoobly.com/full/YE1BJKJOCYVYGD8ELT.jpg
At 10 months, he is likely just now between his puppy coat, and his adult coat, so it may be much less hair than when he has matured.
I have seen purebreds that were ony about $45-50 pounds when grown. (average is about 65 pounds or a bit more) Your pup will continue to grow until he is about 18 months old, and then put on weight and bulk until he is about 2 1/2 years old.
If you got him from a shelter, they may have mistaken a Bearded Collie as an Old English> http://www.netup.no/~bonzo/bonzo2.jpg
their appearance is similar, but they are only about 40+ pounds.
this is atypical working style bearded collie> http://www.expert-dog-training.com/DogPics/Bearded-Collie-large.jpg
and not nearly as thick and long coated as the type bred for showing> http://www.i-love-dogs.com/dog-breeds/images/Bearded-Collie.jpg

Ask the breeders you got him from for papers is the only way you can prove he is pure.
Even with all the above info and other info, a dog can appear to be a pure breed but unless you have proof you will never know

It you don't have his papers and pedigree, you have no way to know for sure.
