Want this question answered?
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.
it is the cells of the animals and the punnett square if it is a hybrid then it can have both sorts of puppies but what if it only has smooth puppies in the second litter??

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.
A rough Collie is a type of Collie.
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.

A rough collie is twice as strong as a 10 year old
