    Responsible canine owners want the best for their furry partners, often taking extra steps to give them plenty of love and guidance. Pairing that attention, with routine physical activity and trips to their local vet.

    Searching for a dog breed that won't break the bank with trips 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 known for its intelligence, dexterity, and endurance. As a comparatively healthy breed, the Australian cattle dog does not have a background of severe illnesses and may live up to 13 years with proper training and appropriate preventative care.

    2. Border Collie - Advancements in DNA testing have made it much 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 great choice for young families and active individuals-- just be ready to provide her with lots 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 lots of exercise.

    4. English Springer Spaniel - Though this mild, cordial breed of spaniel is sometimes known to endure minor eye problems, it is generally less likely to suffer from many severe 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 normally needs less physical exercise than other breeds of dogs.

Eurasier Information

The Eurasier is a balanced, well-constructed, medium-sized Spitz (Spitzen) type dog with prick ears. It comes in different colors: fawn, red, wolf-grey, solid black, and black and tan. All color combinations are allowed, except for pure white, white patches, and liver color. Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) standards call for the Eurasier to have a thick undercoat and medium-long, loosely lying guard hair all over the body, with a short coat on the muzzle, face, ears, and front legs. The tail and the back of the front legs (feathers) and hind legs (breeches) should be covered with long hair. The coat on the Eurasier's neck should be slightly longer than on the body, but not forming a mane. The breed may have a pink, blue-black or spotted tongue.

Eurasiers are calm, even-tempered dogs. They are watchful and alert, yet reserved towards strangers without being timid or aggressive. Eurasiers form a strong link to their families. For the full development of these qualities, the Eurasier needs constant close contact with its family, combined with understanding, yet consistent, training. They are extremely sensitive to harsh words or discipline and respond best to soft reprimand. The Eurasier is a combination of the best qualities of the Chow Chow, the Keeshond, and the Samoyed (dog), resulting in a dignified, intelligent breed. Eurasiers were bred as companion dogs; as such they do poorly in a kennel environment such as those commonly used for institutionally trained service dogs, nor are they well suited for the social stresses of working as a sled or guard dog. Training should always be done through family members, not through strangers or handlers. Eurasiers should never be restricted to only a yard, kennel, crate, or chained up. They would pine and become depressed. Within these limitations, Eurasiers can work very well as therapy dogs. This breed enjoys all kinds of activities, especially if the activities involve their family. Eurasiers are calm and quiet indoors, outdoors they are lively and enjoy action. Eurasiers rarely bark but if they do, they usually have a good reason.
