Tri colored border collie
oops, I was a bit slow at posting.
just ignore my post; I can't find a red merle rough collie...
i cant find a red merle either?
Thats because Collies (rough and smooth coated) do not come in red merle. They come in Tri-Color, Sable, Blue Merle and Color Headed Whites..... they also come in Sable Merle, but that is not red merle at all. Sable Merle is a Sable dog with the merle gene.

I thought I'd seen a picture of a red merle collie not only on PT but in my dog encyclopedia.Originally Posted by Spiritwind

Nope.. you might have seen a sable merle and THOUGHT it was a red merle.. but rough and smooth collies do not come in red merle. A blue merle is a black dog with the dilute (merle gene).. which creates the blue/silver color. A red merle is a liver/red dog with the merle gene. Collies do not come in red/liver. However Aussies and Border Collies do.Originally Posted by Wenisrubber
Some sable merles can apppear redish, depending on how dark the sable is. But most sable merles are a light golden/straw color.. as puppies you can see the merling, but usually as adults they loose the merling and just look like a very light sable. Of course their are acceptions, like ParNones smooth Oz, who is a very obvious sable merle, and did not loose the merling as an adult...

Hmm could that be a collie mixed with a red merle BC? The anatomy can be quite similar and it could be hard to tell a mix. Unless it's some odd double dilute sable merle and white or something. I've never seen one with that coloring and I know when I was involved in showing my collie and studying color genetics etc, red merle was not in the genetics charts.
I was looking at some red merle BCs. Just wondering if that collie could have some BC in her. Odd
