As a relatively healthy breed, the Australian cattle dog does not have a background of serious illnesses and may live up to 13 years with proper training and proper preventative care.

    2. Border Collie - Advancements in DNA testing have made it simpler to control the relatively few minor genetic conditions known to affect border collies.
