As a family we have had several dogs, all mixed breeds. Our first Patch a Manchester terrier cross lived 14 yrs, Tips was a boxer/lab lived 13 yrs, Sam not sure of breed but he looked like a minute Rotti he lived 12 yrs. I now have a Jack Russell/ Whippet she has IBS and is on Prednicare, she is 12, vet says her life expectancy will be shortened by 2 yrs because of the tablets. She is called Dinks her eyesight is not so good now and her sense of smell too is not very good

In reply to Janelle. I'm sorry to hear about Leroy. It sounds like he had a wonderful life with you.

We just had to put our lab Leroy down yesterday. We had him for 14 years, he was full grown we got him so he may have been 16. He developed cancer in the last year, a tumor on his spine flared up and he lost control of his back legs Friday. We didn’t want to put an old dog through surgery, the risk it weighed the benefit. I week miss him terribly. I agree that they don’t live long enough.

Thanks for sharing about your past dogs. We saw a nice infographic on webMD that has a Dog Age Chart based on size that might be helpful to you: http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/how-to-calculate-your-dogs-age.

When my dog runs ahead to dog heaven after around 12.8 years, we simply replace him with another beagle that looks similar.
