If you’re not familiar with the Lancashire Heeler, you’re not alone. But in a recent study of more than 150 breeds, the little working dog has the longest lifespan of any purebred dog, at an average of 15.4 years.
The recent study was published in Scientific Reports, and and included more than 600,000 British dogs.
One finding was that:
So the very popular French Bulldog rates very low on the average lifespan range, whereas something like a Corgi lives an average of 3 years longer, and a Lakeland Terrier lives an average of 4 years longer.
Below is a table with the breed with the corresponding average lifespan in year. It’s a big one, but the trends are fascinating.
Does this knowledge make you more wary of having certain breeds? Does a longer lifespan with your furry friend make all the difference?
