It can come in a variety of colours, mostly black and white but also black tricolor (black/tan/white), red and white, and red tricolour (red/tan/white), blue creme and yellow white, red merle, blue merle amongst others colours. The Border Collie is a highly intelligent herding dog. They are beautiful, energetic, affectionate dogs that need to be active.
