hi,
i have a rough collie who is 12
does anyone know how long they live for

Hi There!
We have had four Rough Collies in the past and now have a beautiful 7 month old little girl. Three of ours lived until 13 1/2yrs. old. Our first one, which we had as a pup almost 30 yrs. ago, lived until she was almost 13 yrs. old. Don't think about losing yours, just enjoy her!

Ours lived until about 12ish but others longer. My brothers boy (unfortunately my brother died when King was only a year old) died just before his ninth birthday with cancer. He was the most wonderful, most handsome Rough Collie and it was such an awful way to go, but he was put to sleep within 3 weeks of his symptoms showing. It was awful to see a big solid dog turn into a skeleton in such a short time.

I have a dog who's nearly 12 and I know your worries but as the other poster says whilst they are happy and still going strong don't even think about it, what will be will be.

I had a collie x she lived until 14.The breeder of my new puppy to be, has many border collies,her oldest is just coming up to 16!
