But hey, right now she's got the official record for currently living dog as documented with proof, as you say. Records are like that.

Many dogs are (or were) older than Chanel.<BR/><BR/>Guinness Book of World Records requires written proof of all claims, which rules out many older animals.<BR/><BR/>OhmyNewsInternational has published a story I wrote about the world's oldest dog, an Australian sheepdog which lived for 29 years, five months and seven days.<BR/> <BR/>See http://tinyurl.com/cpvx7n<BR/> <BR/>You are welcome to copy it.<BR/> <BR/>Cheers, Eric. <BR/> <BR/>[Eric Shackle is a retired Australian journalist whose hobby is searching the Internet and writing about it.

Different breeds have different life expectancies, too. Mutts can benefit from "hybrid vigor" and hang on for a long time, but that's not always the case. My sister's medium sized mixed breed just recently went at 15. Most of my dogs have been labs or lab mixes of that general size and 13 seems to be a common number. English bulldogs and Great Danes both have really short life expectancy...and so on...Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044265862232128796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255311154600933570.post-9974923877774172132009-03-14T14:43:00.000-04:002009-03-14T14:43:00.000-04:0020? 20 YEARS?

That would make this canine 140 years old in human years.<BR/><BR/>Think that scale needs some adjustment. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
