how long dose a dog really live ?

Question

life spand of a dog?

Answer 1

Adverage is 10-15 years. More for small dogs, less for larger and giant breeds.

Answer 2

The old rule-of-thumb that one dog year equals 7 years of a human life is not exact. The ratio is higher with youth and decreases a bit as your dog ages. Depending on the breed, a dog experiences the raging hormones of adolescence anywhere from 8 months to 2 years or more. Generally, a dog of 6 has aged about as much as a 45-year-old human. At 10, she's like a human of 65; at 12, a human of 75; and at 15, a human of 90.

Answer 3

First, "dose" is spelled "does". Second, a dog's life is dependent upon what type of breed, size, diet, exercise, access to good health care, etc. Mostly, what size though. Small dogs can live up to 15-20 years, medium dogs 8-15 years, large dogs 3-10 years. Some breeds, such as the Australian Cattle dog, can live up to 25 years. What ever the case, it is heartbreaking when they die or if you have to put them to sleep.

Answer 4

It depends greyhounds and large dogs can only live 10 years smaller and medium dogs generally live to 15 years sometimes 17 even 20 years occasionally.

Answer 5

Depends on the breed. Pure breed dogs are usually around 12 years. Mixed breeds a little longer.
