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.
What is the main position a border collie does?
Border collies are known for their innate ability to herd livestock, including sheep, cattle, and other animals.

This behavior is instinctual in border collies and is a key aspect of their herding abilities.
How are border collies with other dogs?
In my experience, it all depends on how old the dog is. If the Border Collie is older, it will try to fight (playfully) with the younger dog to display its dominance. this could become a habit after a while and if the other dog grows up to be large, your dog may get hurt. If the Border Collie is younger, it will try to fight up to gain dominance. but with proper training, you can get them to get along. This would not fix the situation of the other dog if it is younger because it would have the influence of the ever persistent Border Collie to keep it "fighting". Hope this helps!
