What is a ‘Sprollie’?
A Sprollie is a name for any sort of Spaniel crossed with any kind of Collie. For example, a Cocker Spaniel/Bearded Collie Cross is a bit of a mouthful, we we say “He’s a Sprollie”. The word Sprollie comes form the words “Springer” and “Collie” – joined together they form Sprollie. The reason why it’s Springer instead of Spaniel is because a) it sounds better and b) because the Springer Spaniel/Border Collie cross is the most well known and widespread.
Why do you spell it like that?
Sprollie is spelt that way for some reason that I don’t really know, but I do know it is the correct way. Yes, it is.
Can you spell it another way?
Yes, but then it would be a spelling mistake.
What other ways do people spell it?
Sprolli and Sprolly are the most common spelling mistakes.
Are there any famous Sprollies?
Not that I know of.
Where do you get your pictures?
From all over the place, really. Most of them are found through a good old Google Search, sometimes I ask people on Flickr if I can use their photos, and sometimes I just find stuff and use it straight away. Eventually, I will run out of pictures to steal, so that’s where you come in.
How do I ‘come in’?
