I didn't even know that border collies came in colors other than black. That second picture looks like an australian shephard. Do you have any other pictures?

I wouldn't mind any of them but red is probably my favourite out of those colors. But if double merle was there, I'd pick that. I think the double merle's are stunning!

I like double merle as well :) But since that wasn't there, I picked blue merle :D

what does a double merle look like? (on any dog?)

a double merle is a homozygous merle. Beautiful, but I don't support the breeding of them. It can be very dangerous to the dog's health. (also known as purple merle or white merle or lethal whites)

Well I'm a little biased and have to go with the good old black but I think they look better if they have quite a bit of white on them. Other then that I guess the reds only because a friend of mine has two of them and they are handsome.

black and white, and red merle, but brindle is not a true border collie colour:) the site says there are brindles however technicly they are either tri colour or sable, some people call them brindles to make more money, but there are really no TRUE brindle BCs
