List of oldest dogs

This is a list of the oldest dogs in the world. All are (or were) 20 years of age or older. Aging in dogs depends on breed and size.

Oldest dogs

The oldest verified dog (and several without strong evidence) is linked to the Australian Cattle Dog. This has prompted a study of the longevity of the Australian Cattle Dog to examine if the breed might have exceptional longevity. The 100-dog survey yielded a mean longevity of 13.41 years with a standard deviation of 2.36 years.[1] The study concluded that while Australian Cattle Dogs are a healthy breed and do live on average almost a year longer than most dogs of other breeds in the same weight class, record ages such a Bluey's ("Verified") or Chilla's ("Unverified")[2] should be regarded as uncharacteristic exceptions rather than as indicators of common exceptional longevity for the entire breed.[1]
