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.
