How Many Sprollies?

Posted by Colby

While browsing through my RSS feed I came across another great puppy photo from the PuppyParade. I was trying to figure out what breed of puppies these were because they or absolutely adorable. If you go to the flickr stream by clicking the title: The Calm before the storma you can see more great pictures of the litter.

After viewing some of the other images I was thinking some looked an awful lot like Springer Spaniel, but I also thought mixed with some other breed. Here’s what I found in the tags: Sprollie, Springer Spaniel, and Border Collies. I’ve never heard of a Sprollie before, but I guess it’s a mix between a Springer Spaniel and a Border Collie. These puppies are adorable Sprollies!

Take a look at this picture and tell me how many puppies there are.

How Many Sprollies Do You See?

Did you guess 6? You need to go back to school and work on your math skills!

Did you guess 7? Pretty good, but not quite there yet.

Did you guess 8? As far as I can tell 8 is the correct number. If you look closely just off to the right side of center of the image you’ll see puppy number 8’s head and if you scan to the top of the screen just below the black and white puppy at the very top you’ll see the end of the puppies butt.

Did you guess 9? A solid possibility because we can definitively say that the head and butt I identified above are conclusively the same puppy. Therefore 9 may also be the correct answer.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say there are 8 puppies in the picture above. What do you think? Do you see more or less than 8 puppies in the picture? Have you ever heard of a Sprollie?

My guess was 9. Sprollie must be a springer spaniel / border collie mix? My friend has a Beaglier – Beagle / King Cavalier Spaniel Mix. There is no end to the hybrid mixes!!

@Laurel, Yep! If you go to the link and check in the article below the image and look at some of the other images of Sprollies you’ll find that they indeed are Springer Spaniel / Border Collie mixes. A Beagle / King Cavalier Spaniel is an interesting mix. I bet he/she is a cute dog.

[...] online research and the consensus is the Border Collie is the smartest (I guess that would make Sprollies a pretty darn smart hybrid breed). Anyhow, we received an email the other day claiming that [...]

@bowman, I wish I could point you in the right direction, but unfortunately I don’t know any Sprollie breeders. They sure are adorable looking dogs!

I have a 6 month old Sprollie named Grace, she’s a great looking animal – they are ridiculously intelligent, and fabulous dogs. People need to be breeding them much more, they’re the perfect mix!
