About Shollie Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Shollie, a cross between the German Shepherd and the Collie, is a large hybrid recognized by designer registries such as the ACHC and IDCR but not by the AKC. Adults stand 21-29 inches and weigh 70-130 pounds, carrying a dense double coat that varies by generation (F1, F1B, multigen) from shorter Shepherd like to longer Collie feathering, with heavy seasonal shedding. Expect a loyal, protective working dog with the Shepherd's drive and trainability paired with the Collie's herding instinct and family oriented gentleness. Both parent breeds contribute health concerns (see health panel). Best suited to experienced owners with fenced yards, daily exercise, and time for training.
