Sprollie Puppies for sale in Stroud, Gloucestershire

2 Sprollie Puppies for sale in Stroud, Gloucestershire

The Sprollie is a cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Border Collie and has inherited many of the traits of its parent breed. However, puppies from the same litter can be very different depending on whether they inherited the Collie or the Springer. One of the constants is that they are energetic, lively dogs that like nothing better than to work with their owners. Sprollies have become a popular choice for people who lead active outdoor lives and want an intelligent and devoted canine companion by their side.

FAQs

What is the personality and behavior of a Sprollie?

The Sprollie, a cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Border Collie, is known for its warm, affectionate, and intelligent nature. They are friendly and social dogs that bond deeply with their family, often showing loyalty towards one particular person. Sprollies are highly energetic and intelligent, requiring lots of physical exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy. They enjoy interactive play, get along well with children and other pets when socialized properly, and thrive on positive reinforcement training. These dogs can display a high prey drive and some territorial behaviour, which can be managed with consistent training.

Are Sprollies aggressive?

Sprollies are generally not aggressive. They are affectionate, gentle, and sociable dogs by nature. While they may show some territorial tendencies around their home or toys, these behaviours are typically manageable with early socialisation and training. Properly raised Sprollies are friendly and non-aggressive companions.

What are the pros and cons of owning a Sprollie?

Sprollies are affectionate, loyal, intelligent, and quick learners that make excellent companions for active families. They are playful, social, and excel in dog sports like agility and obedience. However, they have very high energy levels requiring significant exercise and mental challenges daily. Without adequate stimulation, they can develop destructive behaviours. Some may be territorial, and their strong prey drive means they may chase small animals if not trained properly. They can also find it hard to relax or 'switch off', so they suit owners who lead an energetic lifestyle.
