Dog Breeds With The Longest Lifespans Aren't What People Expect
If we could choose, we'd make it so our beloved canine pals live just as long as we do. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Some dogs, however, do have long life spans — a few select breeds can even survive for decades! These longest-living dog breeds are sure to keep you company for a long, long time.
40. Pug
Everybody knows a Pug when they see one. These bug-eyed canines make great companions and are very affectionate. They're pretty versatile pups too, able to settle into just about any home or family.
39. Bichon Frise (8 - 14 years)
So fluffy, so white. The Bichon Frise looks good and knows it, too. They're known for being friendly towards family and strangers alike, plus their coats are hypoallergenic! Now that's a win-win.
38. Border Terrier (8 - 14 years)
Instantly recognizable for having an "otter-shaped" head, this dog is one of the hardiest terriers you'll find. The Border Terrier loves the great outdoors, which means that a home with a big backyard or proximity to a dog park would be best.
37. Brussels Griffon (8 - 14 years)
No, that's not a muppet come to life. Brussels Griffon dogs make a major statement with their big eyes and big beards. They're softies at heart, best suited for snuggling up on the couch with you.
