Mixed-breed dogs live an average of 14 years. Overall, purebreds live an average of nearly 10 years. The difference may be because dogs bred to meet standards sometimes pass along problems in their genes, too.Among the 155 purebred breeds included in the dataset, Lancashire heelers tended to live the longest, with a median life expectancy of 15.4 years. Behind them were Tibetan spaniels (15.2 years), Bolognese (14.9 years), shiba inus (14.6 years) and papillons (14.5 years), to name a few.In fact, the “oldest dog ever” award goes to Bobi, a Portuguese Rafeiro do Alentejo who's 30 years old and counting. Dogs that live the longest (mostly small breeds) can often reach their late teens or even early 20s, while extra-large breeds like Great Danes and Newfoundlands typically only live about 7-10 years.
Do big or small dogs live longer : On average, smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs. Evidence suggests that larger dogs do not tend to have more health conditions, but that dogs of different sizes may face different levels of risk for different conditions.
Do mixed breeds live longer
On average, mixed breed dogs live longer than purebred dogs. Smaller dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs. Your dog's breed information can provide insight on their life expectancy. Quality of life and general wellness impact life expectancy.
Are mixed dogs healthier : Health: Cross breeding dogs limits the likelihood of pre-existing genetic diseases being inherited. This, in turn, can increase the strength and vigour of crossbred puppies. Unique look: With so many possible combinations, each crossbred dog is as unique as the next.
Dogue de Bordeaux On average, the dog breed that lives the shortest is the Dogue de Bordeaux, also known as the Bordeaux Mastiff. This breed has a life expectancy of around 5-8 years. Other dog breeds that tend to have shorter lifespans include the Great Dane, Bernese Mountain Dog, and Irish Wolfhound. Dog breeds with a high risk of dying before the age of 7

Can dogs live to 30
The longest living verified dog is Bluey, an Australian Cattle Dog who died at 29 years. Bobi, a male purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo, was claimed to have died at age 31 in 2023. Two of the longest living dogs on record, "Bluey" and "Chilla", were Australian Cattle Dogs.The average lifespan for small dog breeds ranges from 10 to 15 years, with some breeds living as long as 18 years. In general, small dogs live longer than their larger counterparts, with the shortest living breeds still exceeding the average lifespan of most large breeds.Flat-faced dog breeds, including French Bulldogs and Pugs, have the shortest life expectancy, a new study has found. According to vets at the Royal Veterinary College, brachycephalic dogs don't live as long due to the increased risk of breathing problems, skin fold infections and spinal disease they face. In fact, keeping dogs socially active was found to be five times more effective at extending their lives than owners having a high income, which would allow them to make more frequent visits to the vet than lower income households.
Why do pure breeds live shorter : Purebred dogs may have shorter lifespans due to inbreeding. Purebred dogs are bred for specific physical features, but they also pass down genes for illnesses that may reduce their life span.
Are purebred dogs healthy : This study found that purebred dogs have a significantly greater risk of developing many of the hereditary disorders examined in this study. No, mixed breed dogs are not ALWAYS healthier than purebreds; and also, purebreds are not "as healthy" as mixed breed dogs.
Why are purebred dogs better
Responsible breeders can tell you that the purebred dog is far more predictable as to its temperament, behaviour, appearance, size and even colour than a crossbred dog. Purebred dogs are the result of many years of selective breeding. Although every dog's health is unique to themselves, over the years, many people have discovered that mixed breed dogs are often healthier than purebred dogs. Because purebred dogs have a limited gene pool, genetic disorders that arise continue from generation to generation.Female dogs (12.7 years) were found to live longer than males (12.4 years), while pure breeds (12.7 years) had a higher expected lifespan than crossbreeds (12 years) – suggesting that dog owners who opt for crossbreeds for the perceived superiority of their genetic diversity may be barking up the wrong tree.
Why do big dogs live shorter : Scientists have for the first time explained why larger dogs have shorter lifespans than smaller dogs – selective breeding for size has made large breeds more susceptible to cancer.
