Collie cross Springers

[b0508]

Just woundering if anyone one else has one? I have a 6 year old liver and white collie cross springer.He is brilliant full of love and very clever.

I would imagine they'd be a real handful and full of eneergy

Any pics?

 

[b0508]

i will try and find you one. He isn't that much of a handful.very trainable.He has learnt to :
crawl
give on paw for please and then after a treat he gives the other one to say thankyou
he will weave in and out your legs
he will walk to heal without being on a lead
he will do may more tricks

* off to try and find a picture*

Here he is .. Not the best pictures

Very cute! You can really see the Springer in the first picture I think

 

[b0508]

He is about collie size. His other front is white with liver speckles.I will have to get some better pictures of him.

He really does look like his parentage, if you see what I mean. Sounds like you have done a good job of training him and keeping his brain busy

We got him from a local rescue center at 18 months old.He in now nearly 7 but you would not think it.When we got him he was very insecure and hated men and anyone raising voices.We couldnt take him to busy places as he would freak out and was very timid.Now he is the most loving dog ever.Lets you do everything with him.Can let him off the lead without attaching other people or dogs.He also use to chase sheep.He found it a good game but obviously it was out of order.We can now walk past the sheep a few fields away with him off the lead and he will walk to heal. Hes brilliant. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have 2! Well we think they're cross springer, we rescued them when they were 13weeks and their papers just said collie x spaniel. They are very loving and like nothing better than a cuddle on the sofa! They are very intelligent too (roof of their mouths are also black which an old man once told me meant they were even more intelligent! how true that is I don't know lol) They are now 1 1/2 yrs and we have one our basic and intermediate training and atm are perfecting recall so we can start agility next year, very excited about this!

This is when we first got them:

At around 4 months:

And today:

Best dog I ever had was one! (don't tell the boys that!) She was a lovely dog affectionate obedient and with few hangups despite being a rescue. Will see if I can find a picture, here
Doing her fav sucking her blanket.

And with her best mate Peggy, they used to come out on day rides with us for hours, sleep in the car on the way home then run around playing when we got back! She knew over 100 words as well MENSA dog!

I must say, collie x springer are my favourite cross.
I came across a few when volunteering at RSPCA, they are mad! lol but so nice.
I especially love those two blue merles <3 Gorgeous!
