The breed of dog that has the longest lifespan is the Chihuahuas.
i dont know of a particular breed but i do know smaller dogs live alot longer usually to about 10+ but larger dogs eg. st bernard, great danes onlyusually live about 7-10.
Believe it or not, chihuahua's live very long lives, my aunts chihuahua recently passed away at age 25.
Usually, the smaller the dog, the longer it lives... Ex. a chihuahua lives pretty long. Mixed breeds also have a somewhat longer life than purebreds.
Chihuahua's and other "toy" breeds usually live the longest(15-20 years). on the other hand giant breeds like Irish Wolfhounds and Great Danes live the shortest (6-7 years)
i think a mixed breed live longer than any average dog, i once had a mixed breed dog(german shepherd and labradoar) it lived for 18 years!! i know u won't belive it
Average life span of the Border Collie is 13 years (their have been many large breed dogs that have lived longer then this I'm just going by the average life span)
Much depends on the breed, but the average dog lifespan is 12 years. Some dogs have been known to live to be about 18. The longest I had a dog (a mutt) was 17 years.

it really depends on the breed but overall a human's lifespan is about 6 times that of a dog

Generally the bigger the dog, the shorter the lifespan. Great Danes have an average lifespan of about 8 years, Chihuahuas can live past 20

the rare Mexican breed, the Xoloitzcuintle and the Chihuahua breed each live very long but im not sure which one lives the longest. soz
Tortoise has the longest lifespan - barring accidents and disease, of course.
Huskies, they are bred for pulling sleds through the snow.
Eating dry dog food has no effect on a dogs lifespan. Dry food can often be healthier for dogs and there is much less chance of getting dental problems if dry food is fed. Your question is therefore "what is the normal lifespan of a dog?" This depends on breed; anything from 9 years for a Boxer to 16 years for a small cross breed.
