Even though there's a lot of hype about Pugs having health issues, if you keep your Pug healthy by feeding him the right diet and exercising him regularly, he should live a long and healthy life. The same goes for beagles — read more below!
7) Beagles
Lifespan: 15-plus years
Butch, a purebred beagle who lived in Virginia with his family, was a reported 27 years old when he died in 2009.
8) Pugs
Lifespan: 12 to 15 years
Pugs are prone to respiratory issues and overheating, but other than that, they have few major genetic problems.
Wow — a beagle that lived to be 27?! And I thought 15 was long! If you want your pooch to have a healthy life, take advantage of his good genetics and treat him well with lots of love and well-balanced meals. Your happy and healthy Pug or other doggie breeds you have as a part of your family should have a wonderful life with you by their side!
