CROSS BREED PROFILE: Collie x Staffy
A Collie Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross will be a small to medium size dog, good with older children, strong-willed, spirited, devoted, loving and will definitely be very loyal.
‘Judy’, (pictured below) is 2 years old and a very willing dog with a heart of gold. Very loyal and loving. She was given to us by our former neighbour whose staffie got caught out by a local collie down the road, in turn the staffie had 5 pups all of which were different. ‘Judy has staffie coat and collie body and legs and a staffie head. Some had collie head staffie body and legs.

Meet Kia, our 4 year old Collie Staffy Cross. She is extremely intelligent and loves nothing more than to fetch her ball, which she can do for hours on end. She is very loyal, loves people, children and cats. But is not a fan of other dogs. Kia is extremely obedient and loving, a perfect mix of dog! Info sent in by Kate Thurlow.
Steve & Justine : We'd just like to tell you about our staffy / collie cross, Max. We rescued him 14 months ago and he has been the best thing we've ever done! He is spirited ( to say the least) and gives us so much joy, affection, love and much happiness. He's not too great with other dogs but the most beautiful nature with people. Max is 21 months old.
This is Faith, a 6 month old Collie/Staff. She's the most gentle, sweet dog. Loves all people, amazing with all dogs/cats and other animals. Learn't to sit/lay down/paw/high five, all within the first week of having her. Couldn't ask for a more perfect dog! Sent in by Vicky Bott

I believe I have a staffie cross collie or possibly a staffie cross labrador. Early part of 2011 my dog Lucy decided to go for a walk. She subsequently got lost and befriended a stranger and followed them home and was later handed in to North somerset council. After reporting my dog lost to police and council I continued to search the surrounding areas day and night! After two days of no sleep I got a call from the council. It turns out that Lucy was handed in straight away its just that NSC had to get a vets approval to start proceedings against Lucy and I with regards to her fitting the description of a dangerous dog! They called me on day three and ask me to come by the local town hall to discuss the collection of my dog. At this time I no prior knowledge to the dangerous dogs bit! I turn up to the local town hall expecting to be walking my dog that afternoon. I was ushered into a room with two slightly overweight dog wardens and told that i would not able to take Lucy home and that she would remain in custody in secret kennels until this had gone to court on the grounds she fitted the description of an american pitbull terrier and therefore is liable for destruction. However they proposed due to the kind and loving nature of the dog they could offer me an application for Lucy to be listed on the index of excempt dogs. Which in turn set strict conditions for her return. Which include Tattooing, neutering, chipping, Insuring and on a lead and muzzled in all public places at all time. They did offer to arrange visits to see my dog in a mutual location but having given this some thought I decided to wait until the courts hearing due to my emotions on the subject in hand. The only other offer was for her to be destroyed for having done nothing wrong and having shown no signs of being a dangerous animal I was not willing to let my beautiful Lucy be taken from me. After she was rescued by me at nine months old covered in scars and bold patches, had loss of control of her bladder at the slightest raised voice and even laughter! I left the council that day to go and break the news to my partner and family. I had to appear in court to stand in the box to represent my innocent Lucy. During the hearing I had to answer brief questions about my intentions for keeping my animal and to provide sufficient verbal evidence to convince to magistrate and panel that Lucy is no danger to anyone let alone another animal. We have a number animals at home which include a Border collie, two cats, lizards, rats and a rabbit! All to which Lucy is trusted and socialised. After hearing my side of the events and the panel had discussed my case we were called back into the court to hear the verdict. After a brief run over our conditions set and a quick reminder I had sworn under oath they granted Lucy to go on the index if exempted dogs and she could be returned to me after the tattoo, neutering, chipping and registering and all the rest of it. However because the pitbull terrier is not actually a breed it is a term used to describe the overall statistics of the animal i.e if your dog fits the list of measurements and skull ratios then they can authorise the destruction of your animal without even a DNA test. My point of writing this is to educate people of the fact that the dangerous dogs act is clearly not working and dog attacks are on the up so more innocent dogs have to die…. After eleven weeks of Lucy being held in kennels I was contacted by the local dog warden to arrange pick up from my local vets. They did not ID me or check my address nor did they check my flat to ensure that the animals welfare was taken care of and that a secure and safe environment was provided. All they asked was if I was an experienced dog handler to which I answered yes. No training courses were advised or even mentioned. They potentially let another dangerous dog back out on to the streets without even an RSPCA check on me or my premisis. My point being that if I were not a loving and responsible dog owner then in the wrong hands she could be used for fighting and the problem wouldn’t go away or be improved. What this really shows is that the animals welfare does not come into it. This is a corporate act which only offers financial gain to those contracted to work on behalf of the houses of commons offers no improved safety for the public or other animals. What this act forgets is all the good loving family dogs that get caught up in all this and have to die unnecessarily. This will include any Staffordshire terrier type cross, Boxers and many more that will fit the desription. If there is a petition of any sort with regard to this matter I would happily sign on the dotted line..
Thanks for taking the time to read. musimanchris@hotmail.co.uk replies welcome!!
Hi , we are about to have a home check today for a rescue dog. I have been reading up about Staffie/ Collie x, as we want to adopt an adorable 4 month puppy called millie. I know they are very lively, and we will love taking her for walks. We live in the countryside so we have an abundance of fields nearby. My family is so excited as we will love her like like our children. My other children are older now, so I don’t have to worry about young children. My youngest is 15. Fingers crossed we pass the home check.
Just read Maureen’s post. We are in exactly the same position now, the rescue centre suggested he was a Collie/ Jack Russell mix but everyone one seems to be confirming our first thoughts about him . Woody met my folks’ dogs this weekend and on the whole things seemed to go well except when all were off the lead and then Woody’s play would quickly escalate until everyone felt very nervous. On the lead, around the house, mealtimes all seemed calm and relaxed though and he is wonderful with people. I really want him to get along well with other dogs and to avoid this difficulty with other dogs that seems to go with this breed. Any suggestions? And how much can a breed’s temperament be watered down by another?
I think I just got a collie/Staff cross! My poor elderly Staff had to be put down last week, he was so poorly. I was devastated. I wasn’t going to get another dog straight away, but someone was going to put this sweet thing in the pound, so I took her on. She is 9 months old mostly Staff, so very muscular, but with a Border Collie face and eyes. She is so much more energetic than a Staff, if that’s possible! She jumps like a kangaroo and loons around the house at high speed. I just hope she doesn’t eat my house like my last Border Collie did lol! She has cheered me up no end.
He is not for sale though! Never! He is mine and will be staying minee!
I have a dog called Jack, he is the cutest, he is a collie cross staffie. I got him from Brown street kennels in Dundee. He has the most amazign personality and he is so so so so loving!<3 xxxxxx

I have just adopted a staffyxborder collie, which I didnt realise what he was crossed with until I had met him and fallen for him. He is two years old and very playful, the only problem I have is that I have always been afraid of staffys as my last dog was attacked by one and although my dog is really friendly I am concerned that he may go for another dog or person and I wont let him off the lead.

He was easy to train and is very obediant.These dogs are very playfull they need alot of exercise.i have a 2 year old son and they get on really well These dogs are very inteligent so you must train them before they take over.U will be impressed at how fast they can run mine can clear a football pitch in 4 seconds dead.They can also jump very well a 6 foot fence is no problem for one of these dogs.(SIZE) Mine is about 20 inch tall and weighs 16 kilos they are a medium size dog but dont forget he is only 8 months old but i dont think he will get much taller.he will most probebly start to fill out now.
