Bow Wow! The Longest Living Dog Breeds

Dachshund

"Hot dog" dogs are cute and fluffy animals that usually live about 15 to 20 years, which is a pretty long time for humans.

Chihuahua

The sweet, sassy and petite Chihuahua lifespan can sometimes reach a whopping 20 years.

Toy Poodle

Toy poodles tend to live the longest of all the poodle breeds—about 15 to 20 years. This is because they are so small.

Beagle

Long considered a wonderful family pet, the average beagle lives approximately 12 to 17 years. In fact, the longest living beagle, Butch, lived to an incredible 27 years!

Lhasa Apso

Long-haired, shaggy and slightly goofy looking, Lhasa apsos are definitely easy to love.

Pomeranian

They live approximately 12 to 16 years, although some have been recorded to have lived up to the two-decade mark — that’s 140 in dog years!

Australian Shepherd

Most of the time, small dogs live longer than large dogs. But the friendly, shaggy Australian shepherd, which can weigh up to 60 pounds, doesn't live longer than large dogs.

Australian Shepherd

The curly-haired cockapoos are a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle, and like their poodle half, they have consistently long lifespans of up to 18 years.
