"Calculating Canine Longevity: Study Reveals Life Expectancy of 155 Dog Breeds"

TL;DR Summary
A new study in the UK has calculated the life expectancy of different dog breeds, finding that small, long-nosed female dogs tend to live the longest, while flat-faced breeds like bulldogs have a higher risk of shorter lives. The research, based on data from over 580,000 dogs, also highlights the potential ethical concerns of breeding dogs prone to health issues, such as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome. This information could help potential dog owners make informed decisions about which breed is right for them.
