The Sprollie, a cross between a Springer Spaniel and a Collie, is typically an intelligent, affectionate and sociable companion—medium to large in size with a lively, eager-to-please temperament. They thrive on regular exercise and mental stimulation, enjoying walks, play and jobs that channel their herding or retrieving instincts, and are usually good with children and other pets when properly socialised. Prospective owners should consider their high activity levels and need for routine grooming and training; a secure garden helps, though they can adapt to smaller homes if given sufficient daily exercise.
