In general, the average life span of dogs is 12 years, but in each individual case this period can either increase or decrease, since the life span of these animals depends not only on the breed, but also on their living conditions, health, care.
How long do mongrel dogs live?
Unfortunately, many dogs that live on the street do not live to old age, but die from some kind of disease. Such dogs feed on what they find in landfills and garbage containers. It is clear that such a diet leads to disease. Frosts that overtake them in the winter season also do not add years of life to them. In general, it is clear that the living conditions of dogs living on the street (namely, mongrels are among them in the first place) are poor.
There are mongrels - close mestizos of some kind. Therefore, to determine the lifespan of a particular dog, it is necessary to know what breed its parents were. Conclusion: the lifespan of mongrels depends on their living conditions and the breed of their parents.
