For pet owners, because they like dogs and regard dogs as life partners, they especially hope that their dogs can stay with them for a long time, so when purchasing dogs, they also want to choose dogs with long lifespans. Today, the editor of Youpet will mainly introduce to pet owners the lovely Husky and how long its lifespan is.

Huskies are a medium-sized working dog, but their life span is not very long. The common life span of Huskies is 9-12 years. If it is a real working husky, the life span will be shorter.

1. Husky’s lifespan has a lot to do with care

The lifespan of a Husky dog ​​is closely related to the feeding and management methods. Generally speaking, the lifespan of a dog can reach 10-15 years. Of course, the life span of a hard-working dog and an extremely leisurely dog ​​is very different, but no matter what kind of dog, the life span of more than 10 years is the most common (small dogs have the longest life span).

Some people abroad have made statistics and found that the life span of dogs is related to various conditions such as breed, feeding and management. For example, crossbred dogs live longer than purebred dogs, small dogs live longer than large dogs, male dogs live longer than female dogs, dogs raised indoors live longer than dogs raised outdoors, and even black dogs live longer than other colorful dogs. Among them, dogs raised indoors live longer. has the highest proportion. Therefore, as long as the breeders pay attention to the physical, exercise, and disease health conditions of Huskies, most Huskies will have a relatively long lifespan, which should be more than 10 years.

2. Dental characteristics of Huskies of different ages

Ordinary Husky puppies will lose their deciduous teeth 5-7 months after birth and give birth to permanent teeth. Therefore, if the baby husky's deciduous teeth have fallen out and the permanent teeth have not yet been exposed or not exposed much, their age is generally only 5-6 months.

If all the Husky dog’s fangs are fully grown: its age is about 8-12 months. Generally speaking, before a dog reaches adulthood, the growth state of the teeth shows the increase in the dog's age. However, once the dog reaches adulthood, the identification of the dog's age can be determined by the wear state of the teeth. In general, for adult Huskies over 3 years old, the upper and lower joints of the front teeth of the upper jaw and lower jaw are worn. In adult dogs over 4 years old, the upper and lower joints of the front teeth often become flat due to wear.

For 7-8 year old dogs, the age of the dog can be determined based on the length of the canine teeth. Therefore, we can estimate the approximate age of the Husky based on the degree of tooth damage.

3. Comparison table of dog lifespan and human age

1. When Huskies are 20 days old, their intelligence level is basically equivalent to the same functions as a 1-year-old human child.

2. When a Husky is 3 months old, its intelligence is basically equivalent to that of a 5-6 year old kindergarten child or primary school student.

​3. The 6 months after a Husky is born are equivalent to 10 years of human life. But the body has finished growing, and some breeds of dogs rarely grow up in the future.

4. One year after a dog is born is approximately equal to 18 years in humans. At this time, both males and females have the ability to reproduce, especially female dogs who have already experienced estrus and bleeding.

5. Although the average life span of a dog is only 12 years old, it is already equivalent to a 79-year-old human being. It can also be said to be a long life. Although the average lifespan of a Husky is only about 10 years, as long as you take good care of it patiently and carefully, I believe your Husky will live a long and healthy life. You must know that the highest longevity record for dogs is 34 years old!

In summary, it can be seen that the life span of a dog is not only related to its own life span, but also more affected by external environmental factors. After the detailed introduction by Youpet editor, as a Husky pet owner, you must work hard to create a good growth environment for it!
