Long-Living Dogs: Top 5 Breeds That Will Be With You As Long As Possible
Every pet owner wants their animal to live as long as possible.
When asking this question before getting a pet, it is useful to know which dog breeds are distinguished by the fact that they live longer than others.
5 Long-Living Dog Breeds
Chihuahuas confidently hold the palm. Decorative breeds with proper care can live quite a long time, so for these miniature dogs 15 years or more are considered the norm. The main thing is to pay timely attention to problems with the heart and eyes.
If obesity is not allowed, dachshunds also show a longevity similar to that of Chihuahuas.
The third breed in our top is the Shih Tzu. Just remember that these dogs are prone to orthopedic and eye diseases.
Another long-living breed is the Pomeranian Spitz. So you can safely have them in families with children.
The exception is the Shiba Inu. This breed, which became famous after the release of the film "Hachiko", is also distinguished by its longevity and can live for about 16 years.
