That's a good name. I had a collie named Sadie.
I've always like Kayla as well. That was the name of our black lab.
If you're going for comedic value, call it Stains.

Agreed
Damit beat me to it
A friend of mine has a female Boarder Collie named Kenda very playful.
or you could name it after an ex?? but then again that would be crule.
I have always had a liking for giving pets people's name.
My dog's name is Lily (someone suggested it earlier in a Harry Potter reference).
I once new a woman who had a cat named Mark. WHen I was a kid we had a dog named Fat Albert, thought we always just called him Albert or Albie.
Go with a people name. It'll seem incongruous at first, but soon be normal for you and give a chuckle to everyone else.

I don't have any pets, but if I did, I'd prefer something with a literary or mythological reference (that's also not a common human name). In this case, we're talking about a female dog: Athena/Minerva, Artemis, Hera/Juno, Calliope, Ophelia, Cleopatra, Cressida, Helena, Hermione, Hippolyta, etc.

Ah, another Stephen Wright fan I see.
As do I. There's something vaguely Scottish/Irish about a Border Collie, and Molly just seems to suit a dog of that heritage. Milly, Maggie, something like that.
But I definitely agree, we need pictures! She sounds adorable.
The next dog I get is going to be a female, since I already have a male. We were going to name her Helena, not from mythology, but because my wife and I met in Montana, and that's the name of the capital there.
I also like ones that aren't common human names. Our current dog is named Rupert. No reason, wife just always wanted to have a dog named Rupert.
One other naming theme I was going to suggest was geographical entities (like cities, provinces, islands, towns, states, countries, etc.). Names like Memphis, Montana, Brooklyn, London, Paris, 
Topeka, and Vienna can be used as feminine names while Maui, Kyoto, Normandy, and Yukon have a more masculine-sounding quality.

I had a friend who named her dog Kool-Aid, so she could yell "Hey Kool-Aid!" and it would come running.
My great-grandmother, a somewhat eccentric woman who died in 1936, called her dog Arsehole and used to call for it from the front steps of her home. Her neighbours used to have a good laugh when she told them that she was going to 'give her Arsehole a bath".
Given her markings and coloring, I'd name her Tuxedo.
I named my dog "Tiberius".
He is a golden retriever. Every once in a while, at the park, near our house a dad of some of the kids playing, will hear my kids call his name and I will get that knowing "nod".
