How many types of Border Collies are there?

The ‘Border Collie’ refers to the Border Collie, a single specific breed with no other kinds. But Border Collies come in many colors: the common black-and-white and brown-and-white, plus red-and-white, golden, blue-merle, red-merle, tricolor short-haired and black-and-white short-haired varieties.

The Border Collie ranks first in dog intelligence, has a gentle, clingy temperament and great patience with children, so it is very suitable as a family companion dog. When raising one, start training early so the dog learns more skills, making later companionship easier.
