You may remember my story last week about the 21 year old dog. I was able to get a picture...so, here it is. His name is Rambo and he is a Terrier/Poodle mix.

I can't get the picture to open right now, but wow!! 21!!

My best friend's grandparents dog is a lab/Border collie mix. We can't remember exactly when they got her, but I think it was the winter before she and I met...which would make Pepper 19 this year? Amazing when dogs live such long happy lives.

O_O That dog looks REALLY good for 21... I believe the longest living dog ever was an Australian Cattle Dog named Blue...lived till he was 29 and he had to be put down...

I heard it was a BC that lived to like 29 or 30 on a homemade diet..

Oh, I hope Sadie lives that long (in good health). Glad to hear it's possible. You look good Rambo!

I used to groom a couple poodles, one was 20 and one was 21. They were born in the late 1970's! They didn't look that good, though ... in fact, they looked pretty bad.

Wow what an old dog! He must be pretty special to live such a long life. He probably makes lots of people happy and is happy. He still looks so cute too.

Found some articles on that BC... Said he's on a Vegan diet but is 27 ;)

About the Cattle Dog I mentioned earlier:

"The oldest reliable age recorded for a dog is 29 years, 5 months for a
Queensland 'heeler' called Bluey in Victoria, Australia."
"A Cattle Dog called Bluey is credited as being the longest living dog ever. He lived to 29 years of age and worked sheep for 20 of those years."
"The longest lived dog on record, was "Bluey", a Queensland Heeler-
who died in 1939 aged 29 years and 5 months."

:p lol
