From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Cocker Spaniels are dogs belonging to two breeds of the spaniel dog type: the American Cocker Spaniel and the English Cocker Spaniel, both of which are commonly called simply Cocker Spaniel in their countries of origin. In the early 20th century, Cocker Spaniels also included small hunting Spaniels.
The oldest dog ever to have lived was an Australian cattle dog named Bluey, who reached 29 years and five months before being put to sleep in 1939. Mr Bunn added: Someone the other day thought he was a puppy, but he has arthritis and can only walk so far. He's on tablets, but he's all right, and eats and drinks fine.
7. Australian Cattle Dog: The dog who holds the Guinness record for longest life span was an Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey, who lived to be 29 years old. Thatâs astounding. I donât know of any ACDs who have approached that record, but I do know this breed can live a good 12 to 15 years, sometimes longer.
