How do I know how long my mutt will live?

[BarbLovesDogs]

I have a beagle-dachshund mixed breed dog. How do I know how long he will live? He is only two but I am SOOOOO in love with him that I want him to live as long as possible. Any tips on finding his age and how to help him live longer?

What an adorable mix! And so glad to hear you love him so much, dogs are the best and wish they could live forever (or at least as long as humans do!). Beagle-dachshund mixes, often called "Doxles," generally have a life expectancy of around 12 to 15 years, depending on various factors like genetics, lifestyle, and overall health. Both beagles and dachshunds tend to be relatively long-lived breeds, so your pup may have a great chance of living a long life with proper care!
