Lab x Collie puppy? Anyone any experience with this breed?

[princesspeppax]

As title says really, anybody shed some light on this breed? We are looking into getting a pup but are unsure of what to expect as this is a breed i have never really come across?

Thankyou everyone for your help 

@26mcjrfm love the pic, so cute

My friend has one that is 3/4 lab and 1/4 collie. She’s hairier than the very handsome beast in the photo above. She’s extremely good natured, very energetic, highly trainable and eager to please. So the best of both breeds!

You wouldn’t want one that turned out neurotic and constantly hungry, though

I guess when people on here say collie they mean a border collie?

You say you work part time on nights but presumably you will need to sleep so while you are at home, you won't be giving the dog attention.

It's the mental stimulation that people don't seem to do, it's more than long walks etc.

I do work part time nights but not overnight I do 5-9 pm so wouldnt be be sleeping during the day. Thank-you for everyones help though

It's a really common cross in rescue. They can look like labs, but the collie half invariably comes from a working bred dog and collie-ish traits like herding can emerge. Some, however do just turn out like nice, fit labs:)

I collected a five month old lab collie today to go to rescue. He's had three homes already, through no fault of his own and he also looked for all the world like a lovely working lab.

I’ve had 3...all completely different, in every way tbh, size, appearance, temperament and energy levels...

Though they all had the lab appetite right enough.
