A dog who is blue will have patches of gray, dark, blue, and dark grey. Merle dogs often have blue eyes. A Border Collie must have a merle parent in order to be merle themselves. A dog who has a merle gene will be merle, regardless of the color of its other parent. In this way, the gene for merle is dominant.
Traditional Border Collie Names. Just like the border collie breed itself, many of their names and meanings stem from a long and honorable tradition of herding and shepherding dogs. In fact, before the dog breed we now call the “border collie” even existed in the 19th century, these dogs were simply called “shepherd’s dogs.”
Blue eyes are common in the Border Aussie, as both parents carry the gene. The Border Aussie crosses two potential Blue-Eyed dog breeds by mixing the Border Collie and the Australian Shepherd. The Border Aussie is a bundle of energy and does best with plenty of exercise.
Merle Border Collies are often confused with merle Australian Shepherds. In order to tell them apart, look for the following features: Ears: Australian Shepherds have floppy ears, while a Border Collie’s ears are tipped or erect; Coat: Aussies have a thick coat without long furnishings. Border Collies’ coat is thinner but has longer hairs
Health Concerns. Generally speaking, the Border Collie and Aussie are healthy dog breeds. Their life expectancy is 13 years for the Colie and between 13 and 15 years for an Australian Shepherd. A mix between these two will live as long as well. But there are also health concerns you have to take into consideration.
