Our 20 year old Aussie Cattle Dog (Rain) is still alive and we can't believe it! She is really very healthy but she is blind in her left eye and that's it. We have a 13 year old black Labrador male (Bobi), and a 9 year old Border Collie female (named Jesse). They're really good pets but I want a puppy of my own. I have always wanted a German Shepherd or a Boxer but my mum always tells me that if we spend $700 on a new dog, if something happens to Rain, we won't be able to afford any surgery or medication. I'm 15 and I have a part time job and I work 5 hours on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday so I said that I will pay for 3/4 of the price and I will pay for everything else, like shots, bed etc. The life span of a normal Aus Cattle Dog (Blue heeler) is only 14 so what's going on with Rain?
Has anyone ever heard of a heeler living this long? And yes, she is spayed now (like all of our dogs) but she had an accidental litter of 4 pups when she was 8 months old.
