We know that the Border Collie is intelligent by nature, good at reading people’s minds, and can understand and do almost anything the owner says. Because the Border Collie is smart, gentle, and a good learner, it is easy to communicate with its owner, and can be as good as its owner, so now more and more people are becoming fond of the Border Collie, and the number of Border Collie purchases is increasing, making it one of the most purchased pets.

However, we know that the life span of a dog is generally not more than twenty years, and sooner or later the owners of the dog will have to accept the fact that the dog is gone. Because they can not bear to part with their dogs, many owners, especially girls, always cry and are very sad. Personally, I am the same, I do not like to separate from people, especially with their own feelings, so I generally do not have a pet, instead, I prefer to go to the home of friends who have a pet, occasionally to tease them.

In fact, most dogs have a similar lifespan, and in the absence of other special circumstances, the lifespan of a dog is affected by the laws of nature, but there are some differences, such as the breed, the state of the individual and the prevention and treatment of epidemics, as well as the environment in which the Border Collie is grown and how it is raised.

According to the data provided by everyone, the life expectancy of a Border Collie can be relied upon to be 12 to 13 years, but there are also those who live to be over 20 years old, and the biggest determining factor is still the merits of the owners’ feeding management.

I read on the internet that a foreign scholar had done statistics and analysis and he said that mutts live longer than purebreds, smaller ones live longer than larger Border Collies, males live longer than females, those fed indoors live longer than those kept outdoors, and what’s more, he further mentioned that black Border Collies live longer than Border Collies of other colors. But in his data, he mentions that the highest percentage of longevity is in indoor feeding.

In summary, the average lifespan of a Border Collie is 12 to 13 years, but things happen, and for the dogs to live longer, it is important to pay more attention to the breeding aspect.
