My Family has included four Bearded Collies (missing from your “Dog breeds” pages incidentally!) over an extended number of years, and I notice you have that breed listed as having an average life expectancy of 13-15 years. Well we must be doing something right, because we have had all of ours for an average of 17 years each. Our current one is 14 years old – and that is sans spleen, and I believe I read somewhere that the oldest recorded “Beardie” was 18 years old. Maybe it’s the Aussie sunshine – or their diet, or the fact that they are spoilt rotten – or a combination of all those factors, but I ain’t complaining!

My miniature goldendoodle is now 36 pounds at 1 year, 4 months. I feed him well (Blue Buffalo, but NOT grain free). Can you give me an estimate of how long he will live? I want to get him a little sister but perhaps I should wait ww few years so they don’t diecat the same time. I am currently 65, a widow and don’t want to be potty training as I grow older. Can you advise?

My dog Buster will be 15 years old in May 2020. We got him when he was 6 weeks old from a rescue group. He is half Boxer/half Basset. He was an outside dog for the first ten years of his life. He loved the big fenced backyard. We had to make him come in at night. Our other dog, Paws, (half basset/half something else) preferred to stay in the house during the day, only going out to use the bathroom. Paws died about 5 years ago at the age of 14 (Buster is 4.5 years younger than Paws). Paws died at home so he wasn’t part of any stats. Buster is starting to show his age because he has difficulty walking. He rarely goes out except to use the bathroom. He still loves to eat and weighs about 80 pounds. We restrict him to three cups of food a day.
