Australian Cattle Dog
If you want a hiking buddy, the Australian Cattle Dog is the best companion. They are smart and agile, and they love a good challenge. Action is their middle name, and they are the happiest when they have a purpose.
Besides this, they don’t have health issues at all, and they live around 12 to 16 years. If you need proof of this, read more about Bluey. They were an Australian cattle dog that lived 29 years and 5 months. They were born in 1910, and now they have a well-deserved place in the Guinness World Record.
They are usually very healthy, but it’s their active lifestyle that can lead to joint or ligament issues due to wear and tear. Hopefully, proper rest and medication or even surgery when needed can solve these issues in no time.

I have had 2 mix bread dogs that I had adopted from the pound 1 was a Doberman/black lab mix and he lived to be over 17 years old and only had problems with his hips when he was in the twilight of his life and the other one a Rottweiler and black lab mix and he lived to be 17 years old as well and I had trained him to be my service dog and he was very smart and loved to learn and I have trained both of them with affection training because you don’t always have a treat on you all the time
