    • Border Collies have many different coat types, although most have a medium to long flat outer coat, with some feathering on legs and chest, and a soft, thick undercoat. Their colors are typically black and white but some appear in browns and greys. Some Border Collies have smooth silky hair, while others are rougher. Their coats are beautiful when well groomed, so give him your time and attention.Also groom it offten and give it baths as poop can become stuck in their hair
