They can have pretty long and great lives, just try not to let her jump around too much as that tends to be a problem starter with their backs. Our Cardigan was extremely playful and would play fetch as long as there was light in the sky *and would try beyond*

That's awesome
Funny you mention jumping because she loves to do it. She jumps around everywhere....we are trying to train her not jump on and off furniture, stairs, etc. because like you said, that is not good for their backs and hips.
