The border collie is a very healthy breed overall, however, there are some health issues that you need to be aware of. Please click on the links below to learn more about the diseases that can affect our breed. REMEMBER: the diseases listed below are all very rare within the breed but as responsible breeders we do need to make potential border collie owners aware of their existence. To ensure the health of our dogs, we at Benshiva take full advantage of all available testing. You can view our dog's results by clicking the Benshiva health statistics link above.
