Sprollie

Origin

United Kingdom

Attractive to:

A high energy owner. This is a dog that is difficult to tire out!

Not the best for:

A fairweather walker. If you don't fulfil a Sprollie's mental and physical exercise requirements, he'll almost certainly develop behavioural issues.

Aliases:

Springer Spaniel x Border Collie

Cross between:

Border Collie ✕ English Springer Spaniel
Border Collie ✕ Welsh Springer Spaniel

Size:

Medium-Large
Big, but will still fit in a small car.

Exercise Needs:

High (Two hours or more)
Without sufficient mental and physical exercise will probably do the wall of death around the living room!

Coat:

Jacket and skinny trousers
Any feathering can get knotty. Some coats self-clean by depositing mud all over the kitchen floor.

Shedding:

Doesn't moult much
But all dogs shed dander so if you're allergic, make sure you'll be ok

Life expectancy:

13 years

Good first dog?:

No
