Meet the breeds that usually live for a long time:
- Beagle:
This is a breed that, when maintained with proper care, can live for about 20 years. Beagles have a certain tendency to gain a lot of weight, which can harm their life expectancy, so this is one of the points that needs to be taken care of. Even in the United States, more specifically in Virginia, Butch lived for an incredible 28 years.
- Australian Cattle Dog:
That was the Bluey dog breed. He lived for a beautiful 29 years and 160 days. His long life earned him the title of longest-lived dog for over 80 years. Featured in Guinness World Records, Bluey worked for nearly 20 years herding cattle and sheep on his owners' farm in Texas.
- Poodle:
The poodle breed has a long reputation, due to the number of years that its animals live. However, unfortunately in this breed, the number of years lived does not always correspond to the quality of life, since these animals end up suffering from numerous health problems. The longest-lived poodle was a toy-size poodle, and this one lived for 20 years and 298 days.
- Chihuahua:
On average, Chihuahuas end up living much longer than any other dog breed. It's amazing how long these tiny beings can continue to live, even in old age. This breed usually lives about 20 years.
