Not all border collies are black and white. Black and white is the most common combination. However, these dogs are also red andwhite (anywhere from lightest tan to vibrant red to rich brown), tri-color (black, white and light brown tan); and also possible is the rare "merle" coloring which can be described as a mottled or speckled color and can vary in color from red to blue. Their coat can be short, know as a smooth coat, to full and long, know as a rough coat, and anywhere in between. What truly distinguishes a border collie from other "pretty" dogs is its incredible intelligence and drive. Beauty and brains!

Can a collie and a border collie be called the same?
No. The breed referred to as just the "Collie" is a very different breed than the Border Collie. In fact, the Collie is usually called a Rough Collie or Smooth Collie, based on whether it has long or short hair. Some Hollywood examples of each: Lassie was a Collie. Fly from the movie Babe was a Border Collie. There are other breeds with Collie in the name, such as Bearded Collies, Farm Collies, Scotch Collies. Collie is a general herding type dog description.
What if your rough collie tied with your border collie about 6 weeks ago she is coming close to her due date how many puppies are you expecting and what are the pups like mixed with two collies?
I'm assuming your border collie is the typical black and white coloration. If that is the case, then, no matter what color the other dog is, most if not all of the pups should be black and white, black being the dominant color. The puppies will probably be smaller than rough collies, without the long "collie nose." My guess is that some will have longer coats than the others. Since the average border collie litter is 8, and a rough collie litter is usually between 6 and 10, you can expect 8 or 9 little ones.
