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.
In fact, there are records of dogs living well past 20-years-old. Although this list of the longest living dog breeds doesnât contain the Australian Cattle Dog, the world record for the longest living dog is an ACD named Bluey. Bluey passed away in 1939 at the ripe age of 29-years-old! Pretty amazing when you think about it, and it makes us wish all of our dogs lived that long.
