Top Longest Living Dog Breeds
According to the famous dog trainer Cesar Millan, this is the list of the longest living breeds.
- New Guinea Singing Dog (18 y)
- Chihuahua (17 y)
- Toy Poodle (16 y)
- Jack Russell Terrier (16 y)
- Cockapoo (16 y)
- Lhasa Apso (15 y)
- Shih Tzu (15 y)
- Australian Shepherd (15 y)

I’m sure everyone of you noticed a lot of little puppies in this list. Puppies which are not supposed to reach big sizes and that’s a typical characteristic for long living dogs. “Petite pooches”, in fact, live usually longer then their counterpart, the reason why they became common among the families. What lots of people don’t know, unfortunately, is the importance of adopting a dog instead of buying it from the breeding. Only in the USA, every year approximately 3.3 million dogs enter the shelters and only 1.6 million find a new home. It is estimated that 670.000 dogs/year are euthanized in order to prevent pet overpopulation.
Adopting is a life style, which not everyone is ready to begin. That’s why is very import to be inform and ready before adopting a dog and give him/her the opportunity of a happy and healthy life. No one is telling you it will be easy, and you must remember that your dog will not stay next to you until the end of your days. But there is so much that you can do together, so many experiences that you would share that it will change you forever.
In September 2018, “All Things Dogs” interviewed the world largest 14 animal shelters, in order to understand what is needed before adopting a dog. If you are planning to fulfill your life with joy and love, that’s the place where you could find the puppy-buddy you need.
