How long does a Husky dog ​​live? How long can a Husky dog ​​live? This type of question is often asked by friends. Indeed, who wouldn’t want to keep such a cute Husky around for a few more years? But unfortunately, as a medium-sized working dog, the Husky is not a dog with a long lifespan. The common lifespan of a Husky is 9-12 years. If it is a real working husky, the life span will be shorter.

1. Husky’s lifespan is closely related to 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 status of Huskies, most Huskies will have a longer lifespan and should be able to live 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.

Under normal circumstances, the upper and lower joints of the upper and lower front teeth of adult Huskies over 3 years old 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 damage to the Husky’s teeth.

3. Comparison table between 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 oror the intelligence of primary school students.

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 healthy and long life. You must know that the highest longevity record for dogs is 34 years old! Therefore, as a dog owner, you must work hard Yeah!
