My neighbors has 2 very old beagle dogs, They walk em everyday out the road and I feel bad for em. I also had a few beagles that live a good ways past there primes.

I don't know what to say. I hear that the smaller the dog the longer they live. One of the foundation females in my bluetick line lived well past 16 years and she was hunted a lot so I hear. I would have to go with a small breed of some kind?

i got a twelve year old blue tick and she is still in VERY good shape. Especially for her age. She still gets hunted often and if it wasn't for her red being faded to grey you'd never know she was 12.

My dad has a 13yr. old pitbull and he looks and acts like a 3yr. old. No gray or anything.

my grandpa had a dog that was grntch im pretty sure, he won all his trophys/hunts off this one dog, the dog was 16-17 years old before he died and was hunted about every night, if he didnt get to hunt it was because grandpa didnt go lol

i got a pic of some of his trophys off this dog

o yea it was a walker

I guess it mostly depends on what you hunt, if at all. I have a 13 yo pitbull that can run neck and neck with the hounds although he pays for it the next day. Australian Cattle Dogs live the longest. One in the Guiness Book was 29yrs and 4 mos.

no mention of coonhounds!

I think it is how the animal is cared for.My Dad had an English that was 19yrs old before it died.He took very good care of it.

I agree, I knew someone that had a 23yo choc. lab. The dog was blind,deaf and rail thin no matter how much or what it ate. They took better care of it than most ppl do their kids.

The lady accross the street from us in outside every nice day doing garden work, she is 88, they had a dog, a Sheltie I think that was 18. I wanna drink the water from their house. LOL Some good stuff there.
