Rough and Smooth Collies

Bearded Collies are versatile working dogs originally bred for herding sheep and cattle in Scotland. They are known for their intelligence, agility, and friendly demeanor, making them excellent companions as well as working dogs. In addition to herding, they participate in various dog sports, including agility and obedience competitions. Their affectionate nature also makes them great family pets.

A female collie typically has a season, or heat cycle, approximately every six to eight months. Each cycle lasts about three weeks, during which she may exhibit signs such as increased urination, behavioral changes, and swelling of the vulva. It's important for owners to monitor their dogs during this time to prevent unwanted breeding and to manage any behavioral changes.

Any dog should be compatible with a Collie if both are well-trained, de-sexed, and have nothing to fight about. There's no reason why they should not get along.

A rough Collie is a type of Collie.

Could be a neurological disorder. I would have it checked by the vet. ASAP.

Yes, actually, they can-fine if you know how to treat them. A smooth collie is more suited for the job, but rough collies are good, too. Never let them too long in the sun-maxium is about 2-3 hours or so. They cannot stand the heat and might get heatstroke, and also their noses are prone to sunlight. Once dry, this can cause breathing problems.

It's not only border collies that do it. I have a border collie sheltie mix and he pees in the house in the same room, also.

Its a territorial thing. the dog finds a nice place that's comfortable and pees there. Once he pees, his scent is all over that one room, that's why it's important to clean it up right away. Your dog will then return to wherever his scent is and pee there until he finds a new spot that he likes better. Don't let him have the freedom of peeing wherever he wants to, he'll soon take over the house and feel like he's the dominant one. Try crate training, regular walks, and lots and lots of positive reinforcement. Herding dogs like shelties and border collies hate being scolded and only want to please, so really praise them when they do something good, and a small but stern correction when they do something bad will be enough.

Good luck! Hope this helped!

No, not a purebred. A Canaan Dog's tail does curve over its back, though, and they're pretty similar to the BC in temperament.

I had a Wicklow Collie in Ireland. She was about one third smaller than a normal sized Border Collie. Her parents were also smaller. She was very smart with strong work ethic. I was unable to find that breed anywhere else outside of Ireland.

Seem to be good, my rough collie is a legend

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.
