*A lot of research is done on animals. Some research methods are strange, and some produce strange results. In a unique study, analyzing the nature of nearly 5 lakh dogs, scientists said that how long a dog’s lifespan will be or how long your dog will live, can be told by looking at the shape of their nose. Find out which breeds of dogs live longer and which breeds have shorter lifespans. Symbolic image. (Disclaimer: This report is for general information only, so always seek expert advice for details.)
*A lot of research has been done on animals. Many show amazing results. In the study, scientists studied the data of more than 5 lakh dogs. It has been shown that it is possible to tell how long a certain breed of dog can live by looking at the dog’s nose. Symbolic image.

*Studies have shown that medium-flat-faced breeds have the shortest lifespans. Whippet dolichocephalic breeds, i.e., flat-faced dogs, or brachycephalic breeds, such as the English Bulldog, have the longest life expectancy. Symbolic image.
*The study used data from 584,734 dogs, including 150 dog breeds. The researchers made special calculations, and their results showed which dogs were at higher risk of early death. Symbolic image.
*Christine McMillan and her colleagues obtained data on dogs from 18 different sources in the UK. These include breed registries, vets, pet insurance companies, animal welfare charities, and even educational institutions. Both crossbred and purebred species are included in this list. Symbolic image.
*When this data was collected, all of these dogs had died. Apart from species, gender, date of birth and death, etc. were included in this information. Pure breeds are also classified based on head size. They are divided into small, medium, and large sizes. Symbolic image.
*Small dolichocephalic breeds such as Miniature Dachshunds and Shetland Sheepdogs had a maximum life expectancy of 13.3 years. Whereas the median brachycephalic breed life expectancy is 9.1 years for male dogs and 9.6 years for female dogs. Symbolic image.
*After collecting and organizing all the data, the researchers first determined the lifespan of each breed of dog. For this, they did a crossbreed group and then finally calculated life expectancy based on sex, size, and head size. Then they came to this conclusion. Symbolic image.
*50 percent of the 12 most popular breeds were pure breeds. Labradors had a life expectancy of 13.1 years, Jack Russell Terriers 13.3 years and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels 11.4 years. Life expectancy for purebreds (12.7 years) and mixed breeds (12 years) has been observed in dogs. Symbolic image.
*Researchers say the study only looked at dogs in the UK. This research needs to be done on a larger scale, he suggests. It can also include dog breeds from other countries. Symbolic image. (Disclaimer: This report is for general information only, so always seek expert advice for details.)
