About Collie aging

The Collie is a large breed with a typical adult weight of 50–75 lbs and a life expectancy of 12–14 years. Because aging speed tracks body size, this page uses the large-breed rate — a middle rate.

Frequently asked questions

As a large breed, the Collie ages at the large-breed rate: about 15 human years in year one, 24 by age two, then roughly 5.5 human years for each dog year after that. Enter an age above to see the exact figure alongside the UCSD epigenetic estimate.

How long do Collies live?

The typical Collie life expectancy is 12–14 years. Keeping your dog at a healthy weight, staying current on veterinary care, and dental hygiene are the biggest levers on the high end of that range.

Large and giant breeds like the Collie reach senior status early — around age 6–7. Senior care means more frequent vet checks and often a diet adjustment.
