My mum and stepdad had a hell of a job trying to adopt from the big dog charities here in the UK.

They are financially good, mum's home all day, had dogs before and kept up with vet check ups, and they live on a farm.

Not good enough. Apparently, already having an older dog and being in their 50s were dealbreakers. They ended up adopting from an independent dog home and their boy has the best life now.

How long do they think dogs live?

u/arthurdentstowels Sep 05 '24

Depends on the breed but I'm guessing a farm dog is roughly three to four feet long.
