The dog that lived the longest on record was an Australian Shepherd named Bluey.
Bluey, an extraordinary Australian Shepherd, holds the world record for canine longevity, having lived an incredible 30 years. While Australian Shepherds are known for their robust health and typically live up to 18 years, Bluey's lifespan far surpassed the average for the breed, making him a unique case in canine history.
These intelligent and energetic dogs, originally bred for herding, thrive on activity and mental stimulation. Their active lifestyle and strong genetic makeup contribute to their generally long lifespans, but Bluey's achievement remains an exceptional benchmark.
