Like most breeds, the Border Collie does have health problems.
The best way to minimise the risk of purchasing a pup (or an older
dog) with health problems, is to educate yourself on the problems
and ask the breeder of the dogs LOTs of questions.
For information on selecting a breeder, please click here.
The types of problems that have, at times, occurred within the
breed are listed below, with links to various information sources.
Always ask the breeder of the dog where health problems have
arisen in the line and what they are doing to minimise the possible
occurence of the problems.
Hip Dysplasia (HD)
Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD)
Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA)
Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome (TNS)
Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (CL)
