Unless you have a dauschund. Those little guys can last 15-20 years if you treat them right.
just got myself one, he's not even a year old yet. Definitely prepared for the idea of having him around even when in my 40's though.
Be careful, they grow on you. I have 3.

Genetics play a huge role in a doxen's lifespan.
Yeah, but statistically even the loyal sausage dog would have a better than average chance of having moved on since the ASP launch! (10 years ago avg age would have been < 10 years)
Fun fact: Dachshund actually translates to "badger dog." They're the perfect shape to go digging around in holes in the ground hunting badgers, rabbits, and the like.
