IT'S A DOG'S LIFE
Flickennel - Dachshunds with ALTITUDE!!!
We are often asked how long one of our miniature dachshunds can be expected to live. Well, our beloved old Heidi lasted till she was 17 1/2, and we've heard of other doxies who made it to 19 and 20 - we found a news item showing the Guinness Book of World Records' oldest living dog to be a miniature dachshund in New York that was 21 (a few months before she died). There's a wall-poster at one of our vets' office which explains how the "average" dog ages, what helps them last longer and more healthfully, and what the typical lifespan is, based on the size of the breed. It's all "generic" with no specifics for individual breeds, but what's good for us is also what's good for them - a varied and healthful diet, clean water, sound sleep, exercise, and lots of LOVE.
Here's the information from the poster, and we hope it answers most or all of your questions. It's followed by a list of breeds and their average life-expectancies, gleaned from www.petplace.com, a site run by veterinarians which has a wealth of information for ALL animal owners. Be sure to check out YOUR dog's breed on it!

WHEN IS A DOG CONSIDERED SENIOR?

http://www.petplace.com/dogs/when-is-a-dog-considered-senior/page1.aspx
Pets age much faster than we do. The life span of a dog depends on its size or breed. In general, the larger the breed or size of the dog, the shorter the life span. For example, in a study of lifespans, only 13% of giant breed dogs live to be over 10 years old. Conversely, 38% of small breed dogs live to be over 10 years of age.
Dogs are considered senior in the last 25% of their lives. Below is a list of the most common breeds with their life expectancies and age at which they are considered "senior".
When your dog is senior, make sure it has a senior check-up with your veterinarian.
[Interestingly, dachshunds are among the five longest-lived breeds! That means you may get to keep your FlicKennel baby for a long, loooooong, loooooooooooooong time! ... I did NOT compute these figures - they were done by someone at PetPlace.com. I just copied the article!]
