Barring developing any long-term illnesses, and the presence of congenital defects, I would say 12 years would be fairly good but you could be looking up to 15 years. Medium-sized crosses have one of the longer life expectancies, after chihuahuas and small crosses.

It depends on the breed, not so much the size. Anywhere from 12 to 18 years if it is well taken care of. You can research the specific breed by Googling "lifespan + your dogs breed" You should be able to find more info.

About 13 years. Life expectancy also depends on the breed and some other factors as well.

Most all dogs life span is 8-12 years. So probably 10 -12 years

It depends on the breed. If it's a corgi type, it needs to lose some weight and be around 40.

THE LARGER THE BREED, THE SHORTER THE LIFESPAN, SMALLER THE BREED, LONGER. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT BREED OF DOG YOU HAVE.
