How long do Shitzues live?
An average of 10 to 16 years depending on how healthy the dog is.
Quality of food and health care, weight maintenance, exercise, medical prevention and care, general physical safety, genetic background, and mental and emotional health all figure into the longevity of the dog.
Mine only lived till he was 4. His siblings lived a little longer, 6, 7. But the mother of these pups lived till she was about 12 or 13.
Depends on how well you take care of them. If the dog has good genes and is well cared for up to 16.
I think they live til theyre about 10 or 11 thats what I think
