(This dog is not an american eskimo it is just regular miniature eskimo spitz and JTR.)

Small breeds such as these can easily live well into their teens with good care. With luck you can expect it to live 13-16 years.

Well there are lots of factors that go into the time you get to spend with him . Do you have him on a heart guard medicine ? If not take away 5 years. Does he get a balanced diet ? If not take away 3 years. Do you keep him in fresh water ? If not take away 1 year. Do you walk and exercise him every day ? If not take away two years. If he life outside all the time take away 2 years. If he has everything just right and is very well taken care of his life span should be 12 to 15 years . But like I said it depends on how well you take care of him . I have a corgi that is 19 years old . He only gets the best that I can afford . And we walk 2 miles every day .

Well a JRT has an average lifespan of 15+ years, and american eskimo dog has an average lifespan of 12-15 years...So I would estimate your dog to have a lifespan of 13-15+ years.

You can probably expect a dog to live for 12-16 years but they can become over 20 years old.

As it is sounds like a medium sized dog, probably 12 to 15 years as long as it is well taken care of.

smaller dogs usually live longer than larger breeds. Newf (I have one) live 8-9 years. Meanwhile, I think smaller dogs like Bischones (sp?) live over 15 years. I think the average is somewhere around 12-13 years.

most dogs that are smaller live shorter lives than a medium sized dog. larger dogs also live shorter than medium sized dogs, but they live longer than smaller dogs. so its sumthin like this.
small
however, this is just an average count. im guessing your dog will live...7-9 years. but u can never be sure...my dog outlived the average life span by like 4-6 years!
