Dachshunds Hold Guinness World Records for Age

Mr. Tiny is proof that dogs can not only live a long, full life, but they can thrive. Age expectancy obviously varies between breeds and individual dogs, but in general, The American Kennel Club says Dachshunds live between 12 and 15 years, which is longer than many breeds. And actually, many Dachshunds have held records for being the oldest living dog, which is pretty cool.

Twenty-one-year-old Dachshund, Chanel, held the Guinness World Record for being the oldest dog until 2009. And in 2013, Scolly, the Dachshund, took the title at age 20. So as you can see, Mr. Tiny is in good company!

As long as they're in good health, many pups of this breed can live just as long and be just as young at heart as any other. Back problems are the number one ailment, but can be prevented with the right care and training. With regular exercise, a healthy diet, and a loving home where all their needs are met, there's nothing Dachshunds can't do, and the amazing Mr. Tiny is proof!
