All They Need is Love: Dog Breeds That Live the Longest
8. Maltese
Average lifespan: about 12 to 15+ years
Once known as “Ye Ancient Dogge of Malta,” this affectionate Mediterranean breed dates back to Biblical times. Famous for their show-stopping snow-white hair, Maltese are more than just a pretty face—they’re intelligent, playful, and great with kids. While females generally outlive males by about a year, these long-living dogs should be part of the family for many years to come.
