Schipperkes are a recognized breed of purebred dog. Their "average" lifespan is 20 yrs. They are also a small dog. |
Your dog has a way to go before record-breaking: http://www.oes.org/page2/9089~Interesti ... _dogs.html
Quote: Worlds oldest dog..... The oldest dog that has been reliably documented was an Australian cattle-dog named Bluey. He was put to sleep at the age of 29 years and 5 months! |
Congratulations on your pug and his grand age. Smaller breeds seem to have a longer life span then larger breeds. 17 is awesome and I hope you have him around to celebrate that milestone in the new year.
We just lost an OES earlier this year, she was 18 years and 1 week old when she crossed the bridge. Another member here has a blue heeler cross and he turned 18 this year and still going strong. |
There was a 22 yr old Chihuahua that was on the Chihuahua list last year. Not sure if the dog is still alive though. |
It's amazing that your dog has lived even one day after being pureed. |
Was that Ron??? Sounded like him. LOL |
