Is my border collie puppy going to be a short hair or a long hair? Because she is long on her head to neck then I'm pretty sure the rest is short also her mum was a short hair and dad was a long. Thanks and the pics the first is her dad the rest is her. Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | 3 months and 5 days old

It is impossible to determine before her permanent cat comes in. Some puppies start shedding their baby coat at around 4-6 months of age, others do not get their permanent coat until they are about 10 to 15 months old. When the adult hair coat comes in you will see whether she will be long or short haired.
