How many dog years does a dog live?

Answer 1

A small dog (less than 20 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 15-20 years. A medium sized dog (20-60 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 13-17 years. A large dog (60-100 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 10-15 years. A giant breed dog (over 100 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 8-12 years.

However, each breed has its own more specific life expectancy range that may differ from the above. Also, just because these are the averages doesn't mean your dog will fall into the range - some dogs unfortunately die very young, while other dogs make it far past their breed's typically life expectancy.

• Life span in dogs depends on many factors, including size, breed, nutrition, health care, exercise, and more. With some breeds, the average life expectancy is as little as four years, while with others it can be well into the teens or twenties. Smaller dogs generally live longer than larger dogs. Active, well-cared-for house dogs tend to live longer than couch potatoes especially if they don't get regular preventive vet care and/or live outside all the time.

• It depends on the care, diet and other things. Smaller dogs live around the same age as bigger breeds. If a dog has been bred properly (ie, for health and temperament), it has a likely chance of living much longer than a dog whose parents did not undergo health testing prior to breeding. I would say a dog has a big range of lifespan ranging from 8-17.

• How long do people live? Everyone is different. Generally speaking, the smaller the dog the longer it lives. 8 to 10 on some of the bigger breeds. 20 plus for the little ones.

• It all depends on the care, eating habits, and size. The bigger the dog, the shorter the life. The only small breeds that may not live that long are Chihuahuas and many terriers because of their temperament. Many bigger dogs that have huge heads are going to live a life below 8 years most likely.

• Smaller dogs generally live longer than larger breeds. Breeds who have health tests tend to have less health problems. Miniature poodles can live into their late teens while very large breeds like great Danes generally don't live longer than 9 or 10. You can probably expect a medium-sized dog that is not too huge or tiny, to live till around the age of 12 if it is kept healthy.

• Typically, a dog lives for about twelve to fourteen years... But hey!, you never know, your dog just might be one of those unique ones that live for much longer than the average dog.

8 to 16 years of age and if they are lucky possibly they live until 20, It depends on the dog. Small breeds of dog generally live longer than large breeds of dog.

Different breeds have different life expectancies, but the average is 10-14 years.

Average life expectancy is dependent on the size of the dog - large breeds (such as Great Danes) tend to live 7-10 years while a small breed dog (such as a Maltese) can live up to 20 years.

Well about 10 to 12 years. Some times if you take REALLY good care of them they can live up to 15! ( That happens very rarely! My Dad had one that lived to 20!)A dog who is 5 in human years is really 35 in dog years!
usually 14 - 16 years but some dogs are less and some grow to be the age of 18-19

It depends on the breed of dog, usually the smaller dogs live for a longer time but around 15 years.

Enless the dog has a disease or get injured than it is more likely to die then

However the other person that 1^ was right but great Dane is the biggest dog so they live for only around 7 years the smaller the longer.
Generally it's 12 to 14 years, but I've had two dogs and one cat that lived to be 20 years old. I have heard that some dogs have lived longer, but it's a rarity. Small to medium breeds of dogs seem to have a longer life span than larger dogs.

There is 7 human years to 1 dog year.

That is what they want you to think but dogs can live generally up to 20 years depending on the dog but the majority of the dogs can live up to 15 years
Dogs kept as pets can have lifespans from about 7-18 years, depending on a lot of factors, including breed and size.
it depends on the dog, the smaller the dog, the longer it will live about 16-29 years at most but smaller dogs probably 15-20 years.:D
We all want our pet dogs to live as long as possible, but the fact of the matter is that on average, certain Dog Breeds live longer than others. a arverage dogs lifespan is 12.5 years
Well considering that 10 is old for a dog I would say at least 13 to14
Depends on the breed. Smaller breeds tend to live longer. Terriers can often live until 16 years of age for example, whereas a good lifespan for some larger breeds can be as short as 10.
An average dog lives for 10-11-12-9-8 years

Another answer:Assuming they are healthy overall, large dogs live an average of about 10 years, small dogs, about 15.
small dogs can live long lives up to around 13 -15

while bigger breed dogs have shorter lives of about 10 -12

some over bred or inbred dogs or dogs that have had lots of changes to them like the English bulldog can have a shorted life span as much as 5-7 yrs
== == * It depends on the breed and also how well the owner(s) of the dog look after it. It is well noted that mixed breeds seem to live longer, but there are stronger pure bred like the Cairn, Poodle, etc., that do have a long life-span. Larger dogs seem to live to approx. 12 - 15 years, while smaller dogs live longer. This doesn't mean that some pure bred large dogs can't live to be 17 - 18 years old, but it's rare. Veterinarians once thought that one year of a dogs life was equal to seven years of a human life, but since this time Veterinarians have created a new chart: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/age.htm
Most dogs live to the age of about 15-20 Some dogs will live much longer and age much more slowly than others. Consequently, one might say for one dog that for each calendar year it ages the equivalent of 10 human years whereas another dog ages only 5 human years. The key factors that determine how long a dog will live are: * Size of dog. Generally, small dogs live much longer than large dogs. On average, small dogs have a life span 1.5 times that of a large dog. The following table illustrates this. * Breed. The breed of dog is a strong indicator of its life expectancy. In part this is related to the above factor; large breeds generally have a shorter lifespan than small breeds. However, even within the same weight category, some breeds live longer than others. For example, a Doberman Pinscher can easily reach 15 years of age and sometimes 20 despite the fact that it is a large dog (about 35 kg. or 77 pounds) whereas the smaller Boxer is shorter-lived and often does not reach 10 years of age. * Gender: As in humans, on average females live longer than males. In the case of dogs, the female generally lives one to two years longer (depending on the breed). * Neutering. Neutered dogs tend to live longer than intact dogs. This is mainly due to a reduced risk of cancer, as cancers of the sex organs are often related to sex hormones, which are greatly diminished by neutering. Current research indicates that the sooner the neutering is done the lower the risk of these cancers. * Living conditions. Dogs which are properly feed and kept, on average, live longer than those that are not. In extreme cases, much longer. Important factors are: diet, exercise, living conditions, and medical attention. See the following section 'Years versus Healthy Years' for discussion. * Individual characteristics. Just as some people are born with a strong constitution, so are some dogs. Consequently, while one can talk about the expected lifespan of a dog based on the above factors, individual dogs will vary somewhat from this.
Dogs can live up to 10 or even 15 years. Some small dogs can live up to approximately 20 years it depends on the breed or the dog
Well it depends on size and weight sometimes dogs can live up to 18
We have boxers and we've had them die from 2 yrs - 14 yrs I have been told big dogs don't live as long as little dogs and boxers are known to have cancer

usually smaller dogs live longer than bigger dogs. it is impossible to say at what age each dog will die at, it varies for all dogs.
It depends on the size of the dog, the breed, and specific genetics. For the most part, larger dogs have significantly shorter lives-around 7-10 years than small dogs-around 15 to 18 years.
the answer is:

smal dogs:10 years

ok this is science you might not understand this this a big dog costs 7-9 years
Between 7 and 20 years

Answer 2

The life span of dogs depends on:

• It varies. Generally smaller breed dogs live longer. There is a limit to this, as some mini's are genetic aberrations that die from defects as they age, often caused because some body parts/internal organs grow faster than the rest of the body, causing serious problems.

  Medium-Large breeds live 11 to 14 years on average. From Wikipedia: The dog widely reported to be the longest-lived is "Bluey," who died in 1939 and was claimed to be 29.5 years old at the time of his death. The Daily Mail reports Britain's oldest dog was a pedigree Papillon called Fred who died at the of 29 in 2000.

  The "7 years to 1 human" type of math is not accurate. Using 7:1 math, a dog that lives to 20 would be 140 years old in people years which is possible but not likely. Compare a small breed and large breed dog at 10 years old. The small breed dog would be comparable to a 40 year old, while the large breed dog would be comparable to a 70 year old, this based on an average human life span of 70 to 100 years.

• From Wikipedia: No one formula for dog to human age conversion is scientifically agreed, although within fairly close limits they show great similarities. As a rough approximation, the human equivalent of a one year old dog is between about 10 and 15 years; a one year old dog or cat has generally reached its full growth and is sexually mature, although it might still be lanky and need to fill in a more mature musculature, similar to human teenagers. The second year is equivalent to about another 3 to 8 years in terms of physical and mental maturity, and each year thereafter is equivalent to only about 4 or 5 human years.

Dogs can live up to 20 years old although depending on the size of the dog can depend on how long it lives for generally speaking the smaller the dog the longer they can live for.

Answer 3

A dog's lifespan can vary widely depending on the breed, lineage, and health of the dog. 8-14 years is a general range. Larger breeds tend to live shorter lives than their lap dog counterparts, however poor breeding can severely shorten the animal's lifespan.

Studies by major dog food companies like Purina and universities have suggested that dogs' health are severely impacted by obesity. Keeping your dog's body condition at a 4 or 5 (pamphlets describing the body condition rating system should be readily available at your veterinarian) can easily extend your dogs life by two years or more.
20 years

Answer 4

One of our years translates into 7 years for a dog, or roughly so. But larger breeds live about 10 years or so, depending on care. While toy breeds can live 12-15 years. So a 10 year old dog would be 70 and a 15 year old dog would 105 (The dogs age is multiplyed by 7).

Answer 5

It is often said that one dog year is equivalent to seven human years, because that is the rate at which young dogs mature. A two year old dog is the equivalent of a forteen year old human adolescent, for example. This equivalence does not correlate quite as accurately with respect to aging. Dogs often live to be 20 years old (or more), which if we apply the formula would be equivalent to a 140 year old person, which is extremely unlikely (very few people live to be more than 100 years old).

Answer 6

A small dog (less than 20 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 15-20 years. A medium sized dog (20-60 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 13-17 years. A large dog (60-100 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 10-15 years. A giant breed dog (over 100 pounds, average body condition/weight) typically lives 8-12 years.
