Dogs small breedsof live longer are also hope that your pug, the chihuahua or a Yorkshire terrier will live up to 17 years, however, big poodles also usually live long – on average 15-17 years. The Staffordshire terriers, the English spaniels, the West Siberian likes, German shepherds, dachshunds, toy terriers and airdales live 12-14 years. The English bulldogs, boxers, bassets, Rottweilers – 9-11 years, not for long live the Bordeaux and German mastiffs - 7-8 years. Long-livers are lap dogs, they on average live up to 18-20 years.
