Lilac is just the colour, not the breed. My cousins BC had a lilac pup.. gosh, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love the blue BC's too.

Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.
They are gorgeous! Is that done because of the designer dog trend or because its natural? Sorry to sound dumb, I've never heard of a lilac collie![]()
i know its a colour lol how silly do you think i am, the site said they come in all colours so they dont really register for certain colours i think , and also i dont think its a designer colour i think its natural
lilac is a naturally occuring colour, like sylver is a dilute chocolate in labs lilac is a dilute red in border collies. the colour should NEVER be bred for, and breeding a lilac to a lilac tends to create skin and coat problems,such as weak, burn prone skin and loss of coat.
