They have no major health concerns because they are such a healthy breed.
I also have a black and tan belgian sheepdog breed. I am seeking confirmatoin of this color type, and have seen one on a purebreed magazine in agility work. My dog is a perfect Belgian Sheepdog look and fits all personality and other breed rules.I just found a link that identifies a regressive gene that causes the black and tan marked Belgian Sheepdog. I will gather that info and add to my comment shortlyoneguess
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.
The Belgian Shepherd, also known as a Belgian Sheepdog, is a medium to large sized breed of herding dog. More information about them can be found from the AKC, Wikipedia, or from Animal Planet's Dogs101 site.
