Considering he is a mix and not well bred, his life expectancy will most likely be shorter than the purebreds.

Honestly, I think the opposite is more often true.

That is not the case, crosses can live as long as pure breds. It really depends on the dog and also how it has been feed etc etc during it's life.

My mother has had cavaliers since since was a young woman- now over 50 years- if the dog came from good stock meaning they checked hearts, she has had them live to be 15. Beagles are usually hearty so its a safe beat as long as the heart is good to be 12-13 years... Have to taken the dog to the vet for a general exam. Heart defects show up early..

AND WELCOME!

I think sometimes too that crossbreeds live longer, actually I am hoping they do as I have an Irish wolfhound cross!

I disagree. Mixes can actually live longer than purebreds. I've heard that purebreds are more prone to diseases than mixes are too.

Not true either.

Mixes and PB's can have ther same life expectancy with the same genetic diseases. Just cause they are crosses and mutts doesn't mean they are any more healthy then PB's.
