Cute, cute! I love the blue ones!

Going to show my complete ignorance of collies here, obviously ... I would have assumed before seeing this post that rough coats were bred to rough coats to get rough coated puppies ... and that smooths were bred to smooths to get smooth coated puppies. Not true, obviously. It would seem, too, that a rough bred to a smooth might throw pups with a coat type in between the two - much like a smooth JRT and a rough JRT can throw a "broken coat" pup. Obviously not the case, again. Ya learn something new every day.
