Hi

My dog is a Schnauzer/Patterdale mix who is about 9 years old and a rescue dog, male. He is typically Patterdale. Recently we adopted a new rescue dog. She is a Collie- Cross, about same age. Ralph gets on with her well. No problems at all. Ralph didn't like her touching his toys at first so we bought Ripley the Collie-Cross, some new toys too and of course they had to establish not to touch each others bowls when eating but she told him by a kind of barking/growl and he obeyed. They are slowly becoming closer.

I have heard its easier to introduce a female to a male regardless of size, breed etc. Maybe if our new addition was male Ralph the Pat mix might have behaved differently, I don't know but its a consideration.

Regards Karen

All breeds of dogs are domesticated animals and live "with humans." Dogs live either in our homes, on our farms or in other situations in which they are supervised by human beings.

What is the life expectancy of a 9 year old miniature schnauzer with diabetes for 1 year approximately?

The life expectancy of a 9-year-old miniature schnauzer with diabetes can vary, but generally, dogs with well-managed diabetes can live for several years after diagnosis. However, the presence of diabetes may lead to complications that could shorten their lifespan. On average, a miniature schnauzer may live around 12-15 years, so with diabetes, a 9-year-old could potentially live an additional 2-5 years with proper care and management. Regular veterinary check-ups and a healthy diet are crucial to maintaining their health.
