10 Perfect Dog Breeds for Longevity 

Yorkshire Terrier

1

Yorkshire terriers and Chihuahuas share the teensy chart. Smart, trainable Yorkies with big personalities are popular.

Australian Cattle Dog

2

The Australian cattle dog's high-energy, intellect, and work ethic make him a long-lived, energetic canine.

Chihuahua

3

The Mexican national dog competes with the Australian cow dog. Chis, as their devoted owners name them, are curious, bright, and bold.

Dachshund

4

For 12–16 years, she's your wiener dog, doxie, sausage dog, weenie, or dashie! That's long enough to love this feisty, outgoing, and energetic dog.

Poodle

5

There are no "hypoallergenic" dogs—only dogs with less reactive protein and shedding. She's adorable—time will fly!

Lhasa Apso

6

Don't trust those well-groomed locks. Lhasa apsos were originally bred to defend Tibetan palaces and Buddhist temples.

Beagle

7

Since beagles live 10–15 years, they're a great choice for your child's playmate. They help hunters track tiny game.

Cockapoo

8

The happy-go-lucky and smart cockapoo can be a family companion for up to 15 years—sometimes longer.

Maltese

9

This elderly snuggling dog may be another low-allergy friend. Maltese dogs are smart, beautiful, and loving. 

Papillon

10

The royal favorite papillon, like a Chihuahua or Yorkie, was painted by Goya, Rembrandt, Rubens, and Toulouse-Lautrec.
