what is average age of a dog?

A dog lives for 15 (+5 or -5) years. Its a good companion for a long period of time. All the very best wishes for you and your pet-mate. "I love dogs" {:-))

i really don't know... but a friend once told me that 1 yr is equivalent to 7 dog years.

as far as i've read, dogs lives up to 12 years provided they don't have serious illness

From my experience dogs live about 15 years.

It depends on what breed the dog is. I think sporting dogs last long than toy dogs, or is it the other way around? But did you know that dog's age is equivalent to times 7 of human age? Like if they're one year old they're actually 7 years old already. Their life span is short compared to humans. And that's what makes me sad about having dogs. Not being able to keep them long enough...

Each breed of dogs have their own period upto which they can live.I've always loved dogs so i think my response would be useful to this discussion. At an average a can dog live upto 12-13 years. But small dogs like a pomeranian lives upto only 10 years, whereas a labrador retriver can live upto 12 years

look there is no hard and fast rule as to the life expectancy of the dog. But it is said that a dog year is like this 0-1 yrs of a dog it experiences growth like 14 yrs in a human life then every dog year is equal to 7 yrs of human life.

i should say that it ranges from 15 to 20 years

to my knowledge i think a dog lives on an average of 15-20 years

they can live,depends on the environment you are providing to them,they can live 100 years or they can die within a single day,if you torture them.if you have a bad sasu ma she is gonna kill him.

It depends on the dog. I think small dogs tend to live longer than large dogs. I think a good age for a dog to live until is 15. Some live more and some less. I hope for more with my dog.

as far as i know it is approx 20 years. it differs from the breed of dogs also . so vasically it is around +5- of 20.

Somewhere between 10 and 20 yrs. . .It varies from breed to breed. For instance, I have an American-Eskimo minature and I'm told she's got 14 to 16+ years, provided all else goes well. . . (she's a small-medium dog @27 pounds) I hear that larger dogs live a slightly shorter life, as thier body weight is a bigger burden. Example-Great Danes are only presumed 9-12 years. And smallest doggy's (toy) are also slightly disadvantaged, by thier size, and range between 12-14 yrs. . .

i think its 10-15 years depends still of course depends on how you take care of them. but we really hope that they last long right because its hard to lose some one you love even though they are just ur pet.
