There isn't really a smooth-coated border collie. The border collie is a different breed, but the rough collie, with a long double coat, and the smooth collie, with a shorter coat, are pretty closely related. The rough collie and the smooth collie both originated for herding purposes in the British Isles. They have the same general shape, size, and colorations. The only big difference is the coat type.

Yes, it's true. Lassie was played by a boy dog.

Lassie was a male, but not a border collie..He was a collie..

Lassie was a rough-coated standard collie

The one on TV was a rough coated sable collie, the one in the Lassie Come Home book is described as a tri color collie, but pictured as a sable. There are several color varieties of collies as well as some with a smooth or short coat.

The Rough and Smooth Collie, the same breed as Lassie.
