I am not sure what papers you got with your puppy but there is not a registry service that will register a mix breed dog.
What you have is an accident.
There is not such recognized breed. And there will most likely not be in the future.
The parents may be papered form like AKC or APR however the puppies will not be able to be registered as it is not a recognized breed.
Hope you did not pay alot for this dog.
I am sure he is beautiful as both breeds are very pretty. Together they would make a pretty dog but still a mixed breed.

A Shollie is a cross between a Collie (Lassie type) and a German Shepard, not a shiba inu.

it must be everywhere from the smaller variety of the Shiba to the bigger variety of the Sibe. meaning everywhere from 18-70 lbs. Odds are it is going to likely be someplace in between, i might say in all probability interior the 35-40 5 lb variety is a sturdy estimate, in all probability smaller or larger however. It merely isn't a great canines, maximum sibes purely upward thrust as much as 50 lbs.

Well first of all, I don't know what papers you've got but mixed breed dogs are not recognized by the AKC! And secondly, what do you mean by "what can I do"? You have the dog, so get it trained, and be good to it! What more do you need?

Mixed breeds (commonly called mutts) can be very good looking and make great loving pets. Congrats on your dog!

Having papers doesn't mean anything. I could register my dog at my dentist's office and say it had papers. The question is what kind of papers and what do they mean. There are hundreds of different registries for dogs. Yes, hundreds.
1) All-breed registries
AKC (American Kennel Club) is the best known registry in the US. AKC recognizes only about 130 breeds of dog, and each of those breeds must follow a very particular set of standards in order to be recognized. Once the breed is
recognized, AKC does nothing to validate the quality of those dogs -- just tracks their parentage and issues pedigrees. It also regulates certain things about breeding such as "can't register pups if the ***** is bred before she is two years
old". Other registries like this include UKC (United Kennel Club) and CKC (Canadian Kennel Club). A dog has to have certain parentage to be able to be registered.
2) Breed registries
Any kind of purebred dog may be registered with whatever breed registries exist for their breed. My Shiloh Shepherd is registered with ISSR, and I could probably apply for registration in one of two or more other Shiloh registries. ASCA has
been registering Australian Shepherds long before they were recognized by AKC. Jack Russell Terrier Club of America is the main registration organization for Jack Russells, which are not recognized by AKC. There was so much controversy in the breed about trying for AKC recognition that the breed actually split in half, with the half that joined AKC changing the breed's name to Parson Russell Terrier.
3) Undiscriminating All-breed Registries
The next category of registries are ones in which you can register any dog with them if it is a breed they recognize. They do not verify parentage, they just confirm yep, the dog looks like the breed you claim it is. These include groups
like the other CKC (Continental Kennel Club) and NKC (National Kennel Club). These are only worthwhile if there's some reason you want to be part of their organization. One of my dogs is CKC and I'm ashamed I ever gave them my money (there was breeder fraud and they didn't even care). One of my other dogs is NKC, and that's really just so I can show her in their obedience program.
4) Pet registries
There are companies out there like ACA (American Canine Association?) and APR (American Pet Dog Registry) that cheerfully register any dog you're willing to pay them for. From what I can tell, they are supported by puppy mills who want to be able to confuse people by accurately claiming their puppies are "registered". These registrations are absolutely meaningless, and for half the cost, I'd be more than happy to send you a pretty certificate and "register" your dog as an honorary member of my household. Yay, he's registered!
5) Performance Registries
You can register any dog in scads of competition registries for things like obedience and agility. UKC, AMBOR, and APDT do obedience and USDAA, CPE, and NADAC to agility. There are lots and lots more. So my dog is registered APDT and we accumulate points and titles with them, but it has nothing to do with my dog's parentage.

Way more than you ever wanted to know?
Your dog's papers are probably in Category 2 or Category 4. There are "designer dog registries" that have popped up to registered mixed breed dogs. If you're dealing with true breeders, these registrations *could* mean something, but you
have to be careful because anyone with a printer and fancy paper can type up pedigrees and certificates. The trick is to understand what those pieces of paper actually represent.
