Human: Do big dogs or little dogs live longer?

Assistant: It’s hard to say.  It’s important to remember that different dogs live very different lives, and therefore don’t have the same health risks or other challenges.  Here’s some data:

-The median age of death for Goldendoodles in the United States is 5.6 years.  This is relatively low.
-The median age of death for Pembroke Welsh Corgis is 8.8 years.  This is relatively high.


Human: Do big dogs or little dogs live longer?

Assistant: You want to know if there’s a correlation between dog size and longevity, right? And by “live longer” you probably mean “live longer than the average human life span”, correct?
