In most cases, owners are extremely sensitive to the early departure of their pet, since they have managed to build a relationship with the dog.
Not all animals can please us with a long life expectancy.
If you want your dog to accompany you as long as possible, then you should pay attention to breeds that are considered long-lived.
What options are worth knowing about?
Jack Russell Terrier
This breed quickly found its fans, as the dogs look attractive and have small sizes. An adult dog, as a rule, weighs no more than 6 kilograms.
The average life expectancy of this breed is about 13 years. However, there have been cases where dogs have lived for almost two decades.
Yorkshire Terrier
This breed is one of the most popular, as its representatives are miniature animals. Such a dog can be kept in an apartment without any particular difficulties.
If the breeder is responsible in their duties, then Yorkshire terriers can live on average more than 12 years. With high-quality care and medical care, this figure will be significantly higher, experts note.
Crossbreeds and mongrel dogs
The advantage of these dogs is that they have strong immunity and excellent health. In addition, these are extremely smart dogs with excellent genetics.
The fact is that mongrel dogs in most cases take only the best genes from their parents.
