Shollie
Intelligent. loyal. Yours.
Here's the thing nobody warns you about when you bring home a Shollie: you haven't adopted a dog. You've adopted a project manager with fur and an obsessive need to be useful.

The Shollie experience
You know you're a Shollie owner when...
●The stare. That unblinking, soul-penetrating, 'I can see through time' stare that follows you from room to room because they need to know what's happening at all times.
●The herding. Of children, of cats, of dinner guests, of your other dog, moving everyone into position with subtle body blocks and that low-headed Border Collie crouch they didn't ask permission to inherit.
●The 5 AM wake-up nudge because the routine says we get up now, and the routine is law, and your Shollie is the routine's attorney.
●Watching them learn a new trick in three repetitions and then stare at you like 'Okay, that was easy. What's next?', and realizing you've run out of tricks before they've run out of brain.
●The fur. Two coats from two of the heaviest-shedding breeds on earth combined into one magnificent, furniture-destroying, lint-roller-bankrupting coat that somehow ends up in your food.
