Afollie Puppies for Sale
About the Afollie
The Afollie is a large hybrid of the Afghan Hound and the Collie, sometimes called the Afghan Collie, prized for its graceful build and flowing coat. It joins the Afghan's aloof, dignified sighthound temperament with the Collie's herding intelligence and devotion, resulting in an athletic, elegant dog that is both independent and family-oriented. The long coat requires committed grooming, and the dog needs substantial daily exercise plus space to move freely. Early socialization balances the Afghan's reserve with the Collie's sensitivity. Best suited to active homes with room to run, the Afollie is a beautiful, loyal companion.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.

History
The Afollie is a modern designer cross of the ancient Afghan Hound, a sighthound from Afghanistan, and the Collie, a Scottish herding breed. The name is a portmanteau of the two parents. It is not recognized by kennel clubs and is bred as a companion.
Temperament
The Afollie combines sighthound independence with herding-breed loyalty and intelligence. It is affectionate with family, sometimes reserved with strangers, and may display both a chase and a herding instinct. It responds best to patient, reward-based training and steady socialization.
