No (although rough collies don't come in "red merle;" they come in sable merle, though it can be difficult to tell an adult is a merle). In general, however, if you mate two merles, the litter will wind up including an average of 25% homozygous merles, which will usually be excessively white and have a high probability of being deaf and blind.
Shelties come in: Sable Blue Merle Tri Color Bi-Blue Bi-Black Shaded Sable Double Merle - double merle is when two blue merle shelties mate and there baby comes out mostly white. Those shelties are bound to be either deaf or blind. It's sad. :(
