How long does the average sheep dog live?

Answer 1

There are only a few different breeds of sheepdogs so by putting together a list of the average lifespan of each breed you can get an accurate idea of how long the typical sheepdog will live for.

• Belgian Sheepdog 10-12 years (11 average)
• Old English Sheepdog 10-12 years (11 average)
• Polish Lowland Sheepdog 10-14 years (12 average)
• Shetland Sheepdog 12-14 years(13 average)

Adding up the average life expectancy of each breed and by then dividing them by four you'd get 11.75 years therefore you can expect the average sheepdog to live to be around 11 1/2 to 12 years of age.

Answer 2

This depends what they are being used for, meat goats may live to be a year old or less. While breeding stock will live to be about 15, this age will depend on the longevity of the animal and the conditions it was raised in.
