Dog Breeds with The Least Health Issues
Trying to find a dog breed that won't break the bank with visits to the vet? Have a look at our list below. But, bear in mind that your pet's health is ultimately up to you.
1. Australian cattle dog - This enthusiastic breed of dog is well known for its intelligence, agility, and endurance. As a relatively healthy breed, the Australian cattle dog does not have a history of severe illnesses and may live up to 13 years with proper training and appropriate preventative care.
2. Border Collie - Advances in DNA testing have made it easier to control the relatively few minor genetic conditions known to affect border collies. As a high-energy dog with a lifespan of up to 14 years, the Border collie is a fantastic choice for active individuals and young families-- just be ready to provide her with great deals of outdoor playtime and exercise.
3. German Pinscher - This muscular and agile dog is not often associated with major health conditions, and may live up to 14 years with proper care and plenty of exercise.
4. English Springer Spaniel - Though this mild, cordial breed of spaniel is sometimes known to experience minor eye problems, it is generally less likely to suffer from many serious genetic diseases. A healthier English springer spaniel may live up to 14 years.
5. Chihuahua - With love and attention, this pint-sized pooch species can live up to 18 years. The Chihuahua's petite size means it typically calls for less physical exercise than other breeds of dogs.
