Does anyone know of anyone with puppies or a young collie wanting an excellent home, preferably red/white or red merle? 
OMG Seriously?! Those first 2 sites you posted are well known for puppy farmers!When I got my BC as a puppy I used these 2 websites to find suitable litters:

Do make sure you choose the right BC background for what you want. If you want a pet that is not going to tear up the house or need 5 hours exercise a day get a show or pet bred one that has been reared in the house.
I would recommend spending the extra and getting a Kennel Club registered one as you can then check that the parents have had all the necessary health checks such as hip scores eye tests hearing tests and preferably DNA tests for CEA, CL and TNS.
Having had one working sheep dog BC cross that has mild hip dysplasia, PRA (making him almost blind over the years and he will go totally blind - he is only 9 now) and fusing vertebra (Cauda Equina), I made sure I bought a health checked one this time!!!!
Another place to look is the border collie database:

and of course:

Good luck and have fun, they are the best breed ever!!
